About this product

Product Information

Based on a true story, GOING TO SCHOOL WITH DAD ON MY BACK explores the sacrifices a traditional Chinese family must make while struggling to survive financially in a rural part of China. When a widowed father cannot find enough money to send both his children to school, he puts his son's education first, leaving his daughter to stay at home and do fieldwork. This decision, and a later tragedy, puts pressure on Shiwa, the son, who from this point on feels torn between worrying about his future and his responsibilites to his family. Beautiful locations and cinematography capture a strong sense of China's geography and culture.
