Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry 2012

Ai Weiwei is probably the most representative Mainland Chinese contemporary artist internationally, although Beijing government might think otherwise. He appears to be equally bold and daring in many of his avant-garde artistic creations as in his acts in defending civil rights through the internet. Freelance journalist and documentary filmmaker Alison Klayman spent two years closely following Ai Weiwei in 11 cities to complete Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry. Apart from documenting Ai Weiwei's artistic and political pursuits, resulting in Ai's own arrest in 2011, she also interviews his mother and his artist friends to offer a multi-dimensional portrait of the most controversial artist in China.
