历时一两年,奔波了数个城市,拍摄了100多个小时的素材带,剪成纪录片《天堂花园》。它不同于一般的纪录片模式,不是纠结于一个有头有尾的事件人群,不是仅仅关于一起官司的纪录片。它以2003年发生的女教师裸死的“黄静案”及其后续事件为线索,用理性的态度触及和记录了2004年中国发生的几大方面的变化,信息丰富,线索杂糅,甚至可以说每一条线索单独抽出来都是重大而且发人深思的。影片的开头用“孙志刚被收容案”做引子,由此带出来同样需要帮助的黄静案;在整个案件的发展过程中牵涉到上访、公民维权、法医鉴定、司法调查等一系列严肃的问题。尽管黄静案从中央电视台、凤凰卫视以及各级地方电视台都有所报道,但其巨大影响还来源于网络的民众话语力量。从《天堂花园》的制作中我们可以看到艾晓明教授积极推动了这个案件的进程,看到了中国社会的一个新鲜现象-那就是知识分子开始介入需要社会帮助的实例。一些大学教授、博士导师、专家、律师,敢于站出来为一个普通的老百姓维护权利,为其奔走,“庙堂之高”与 “江湖之远”开启了互动的可能性。这些内容使得《天堂花园》这部纪录片丰满并且具有启示性. 本片通过对湖南女教师黄静受害案的追踪,纪录了今天中国社会正在经历的重要变动公民意识的觉醒、妇女对司法腐败的抗争以及反对性暴力的行动。从影片中可以看到,2003年到2005年人权入宪前后中国基层民众的权利诉求以及公民权利意识的进一步觉醒。由孙志刚事件的解决到为黄静争取法律公正的曲折过程,我们探讨了社会边缘民众的生存状态、主流媒体与网络的影响、性别与法律的错综关系以及NGO组织的介入推动。记录者希望,通过一桩法律公案的故事,展现妇女与法律的文化论战、知识分子的社会责任、并激发对于建立公民社会之可能性的持续讨论.

纪录片《关爱之家》简介: 《关爱之家》起因于《中国经济时报》首席记者王克勤的长篇报道《邢台艾滋病真相调查》,影片记录了河北邢台农村妇女刘显红打官司的故事。她因在医院输血感染艾滋病毒,决定公开身份、起诉医院,历经艰险终于获取赔偿。以她的经历为主要线索,影片通过几个家庭的遭遇和感染者成立“关爱”小组集体维权的努力,呈现出在基层农村涌动的公民权利意识。尽管追求法治的路困难重重,但由于社会关怀、媒体介入和法律援助,政府也转变了态度,并出台了改善感染者处境的政策。在通往社会公正的道路上,《关爱之家》呈现了爱与社会改变的可能性。 Care and Love The high profile success of The Blood of Yingzhou District—winner of Oscar's Best Documentary this year—has encouraged worldwide attention on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in China. Almost at same time, two works on the subject have spreaded among the HIV/Aids activists and NGOs in China, The Central Plains (2006), and Care and Love(2007), directed by Ai Xiaoming, a professor from Sun Yat-sen University, and filmed by herself and Hu Jie. Care and Love draws its inspiration from 'Investigation of HIV/AIDS in Xingtai', a feature article written by Wang Keqin, a senior journalist at China Economic Times, which tells the story of Liu Xianhong, a woman villager who contracted HIV through a blood transfusion during childbirth. The film documents how she publicized her story, filed a lawsuit with her 8-year-old son against the local hospital and eventually received compensation. The film also records the sufferings of several families and a collective effort to defend their own rights by people living with HIV/AIDS, who set up an organization, 'Care and Love Group'. The film reveals an increasing awareness of civil rights in rural areas. Growing social concern, media intervention and legal aid have forced the local government to compromise and modify their policy, and improve the situation for AIDS patients. Care and Love thus shows the possibility for social change on the way to social justice.
The Vagina Monologues

Eve Ensler publishing house: Villard 2000
"I was worried about vaginas. I was worried about what we think about vaginas, and even more worried that we don't think about them. . . . So I decided to talk to women about their vaginas, to do vagina interviews, which became vagina monologues. I talked with over two hundred women. I talked to old women, young women, married women, single women, lesbians, college professors, actors, corporate professionals, sex workers, African American women, Hispanic women, Asian American women, Native American women, Caucasian women, Jewish women. At first women were reluctant to talk. They were a little shy. But once they got going, you couldn't stop them." So begins Eve Ensler's hilarious, eye-opening tour into the last frontier, the forbidden zone at the heart of every woman. Adapted from the award-winning one-woman show that's rocked audiences around the world, this groundbreaking book gives voice to a chorus of lusty, outrageous, poignant, and thoroughly human stories, transforming the question mark hovering over the female anatomy into a permanent victory sign. With laughter and compassion, Ensler transports her audiences to a world we've never dared to know, guaranteeing that no one who reads The Vagina Monologues will ever look at a woman's body the same way again.
