Award for Weijia Ma at DOK Leipzig

The documentary animation film, a Chinese-French co-production, deals with China’s one-child policy from the perspective of two young girls and thus has a very personal connection to the filmmaker’s history.

DOK Leipzig is an annual festival for documentaries and animations that celebrates film and promotes debate. For over 60 years, the festival focuses on the values of peace, tolerance, human dignity and freedom of expression, along with a strong, individual artistic signature of the filmmakers.
