Maineland
A Film Review
What happens when you take wealthy urban high school students and drop them down in a small town in Maine?
Chinese Christians and the Arts
"In this age, saturated with postmodern and post-postmodern cultural symbols, if the church cannot pastor a community of artists with the gospel, then we lose a great opportunity for the gospel to dialogue with the culture."
Wangdrak’s Rain Boots
A Film Review
For a glimpse of Tibet, for a good story about childhood struggles and a precious friendship, or just for the opportunity to see how something as simple as rain can turn a town upside down, this is a worthy watch.

Invisible Planets
Further Reflections
Contextualization and worldview are partners. Chinese science fiction allows us to see Chinese worldviews that are often not easily observed in everyday life.
Lost and Love
A Film Review
Hope in the face of devastating loss. A film about child trafficking in China.
China’s Fake Boyfriends
A Film Review
With Chinese New Year only two weeks away, there is definitely an energy in the air—shopping, planning trips home, booking dinners and gatherings. Underneath this flurry of festive activity lies a very real and difficult social struggle.
Dwarves Kingdom
A Film Review
A documentary exploring the lives of some of China's "little people" living and working at a theme park in Yunnan.
