In the tense years following World War II, fear replaced trust, and suspicion replaced truth. The Cold War had begun—and in its early years, paranoia found a stage in Hollywood itself.

And almost since the dawn of the medium, movies have shaped the public’s understanding of and assumptions about disability.

Siendo la industria del cine chino una de las más importantes en la actualidad, aún es una gran desconocida en nuestro país. Salvo nombres como Zhang Yimou o Jia Zhangke, poco se sabe de un cine que siempre ha colmado los sueños de sus espectadores, desde la glamurosa industria de Shanghai de los años 30 hasta el periodo de ocupación japonesa, desde la instauración de la República Popular en 1949 hasta la apertura de los años 80 pasando por el tormentoso periodo de la Revolución Cultural.
