Contents/Summary
- Summary
- “Qianmen” is a popular neighborhood in the very heart of Beijing, just south of Tiananmen Square. In view of the 2008 Olympic games, the city decided that the six-hundred-year-old neighborhood has to be “rehabilitated”. It is now in the line of fire of the developers, and the 80000 people living there face drastic changes. The film follows this long process of transformation from one reality to another. Step by step, the film draws a portrait of the district, recording the reality that will soon disappear.
