Live Podcast Interview with Documentarian Nengjie Jiang

Thursday, April 29 from 9:00-10:15 a.m. 

Please join the Community Change Collaborative members for a live podcast interview with Documentarian Nengjie Jiang. In his work, Nengjie, a 35-year-old independent Chinese documentary director, producer and photographer, pays close attention to the silenced minority groups of the fast-developing, modern Chinese society.

From 2009 to 2014, he finished his trilogy on left-behind children and produced the fourth one in 2016. In 2015, he produced Long Lao, a documentary on veterans of the Second Sino-Japanese War. In 2018, Yun Jie entered the Beijing International Film Festival as Jiang’s first feature length film on left-behind children and empty nesters. Jiang became better-known to the Chinese online community in April 2020 with his documentary on local coal miners and the mining community, called Miners, Grooms and Pneumoconiosis.
