The First Shot
2017, English. Directed by Federico Francioni & Yan Cheng.
The documentary tells the passion, the dreams, the weaknesses, the fears of three boys born after 1989. No one directly lived the time of Tiananmen Square, but they suffer the inevitable problems behind of exaggerated economic growth. They face a world, a society that runs beyond the speed of light, and as often happens, young people are the most fragile victims.
