Nanfu Wang examines China’s controversial population control policy in her documentary One Child Nation from both a personal perspective as well as the broader implications of the social experiment that lasted more than 35 years.
Share to twitterPARK CITY, UT - JANUARY 26: Nanfu Wang attends the"One Child Nation" Premiere during the 2019 Sundance Film Festival at Egyptian Theatre on January 26, 2019 in Park City, Utah. Filmmaker Nanfu Wang examines China’s controversial population control policy in her documentaryfrom both a personal perspective as well as the broader implications of the social experiment that lasted more than 35 years.
Wang immigrated to the U.S. several years ago but returned to her home province to make the documentary over a series of carefully planned trips. She brought her American-born infant son with her on those trips, where she and her filmmaking partner Jialing Zhang interviewed parents and children impacted by the one-child policy as well as political officials, human traffickers, journalists and others.
I became curious and I wanted to explore it more. I wanted to go back to China but there was a lot of uncertainty of whether I could go back or not because I’ve made a few comments that were politically sensitive. I reached out to a friend of mine, Jialing Zhang, who is a filmmaker in China and asked her if she would collaborate with me. She said yes, so we started doing research—she in China, me in the U.S. A little while later, I made my first attempt to go back to China.
Has your mom or any of the other people you interviewed for the film suffered any backlash because of their participation?: No. They haven’t had any government contact or confrontation. A lot of it has to do with how supportive they are with the policy. Anyone who sees the film will see that all of the people , no matter how much they suffered from the policy, they eventually supported it by saying how necessary and important it was.
In one of the interviews with one of the former officials in the village, there is a photo of Mao Zedong on the wall behind him.: That is really common in rural areas where families still display Mao’s portrait prominently in their home. When the Peoples Republic of China was established, especially during the Cultural Revolution, it was almost mandatory. Now, the people who are the older generation still do that because years of promoting and indoctrinating made them do that.
