Chinese documentary filmmakers of the only-child generation explore their identities by engaging with the past. In 2011, these directors chose to return to their own ancestral villages to uncover oral histories from their grandparents. Found memories are uncovered of a different China paralyzed in fear and famine.

The Starving Village (2010), dir. Zou Xueping
