High Tech, Low Life (2012)

HIGH TECH, LOW LIFE follows the journey of two of China's first citizen reporters as they travel the country – chronicling underreported news and social issues stories. Armed with laptops, cell phones, and digital cameras they develop skills as independent one-man news stations while learning to navigate China's evolving censorship regulations and avoiding the risk of political persecution. The film follows 57-year-old "Tiger Temple," who earns the title of China's first citizen reporter after he impulsively documents an unfolding murder and 27-year-old "Zola" who recognizes the opportunity to increase his fame and future prospects by reporting on sensitive news throughout China.

As far as its subject matter goes, the documentary only scratches the surfaces, only reaffirming the simple idea that Internet censorship in China is prevalent and unfair.

I saw this film in the IFC theater in NYC and I have to say it's my favorite kind of documentary. It allows moments to unfold and let's us get to know the characters, the people at the center of these issues. It's not the kind of documentary filled with interviews with experts, it's cinematic and character-driven. A beautiful film.

High Tech, Low Life ostensibly examines censorship of the Internet and news media in China. But the pic is driven less by its subject matter than by its two very different and utterly fascinating bloggers.

Maing's own camera captures the busy, rich and revealing life around them, with interested openness and visual intelligence.

An engaging study of the disparate characters who are drawn to speak out when the authorities crack the whip.
