ROCK HEART BEIJING is a revealing and often funny documentary that
follows one of the Chinese Mainland’s foremost rock bands, Subs –
fronted by petite but fissile Kang Mao - as it tours China and Nordic
Europe. It shows the band struggling with poverty, sexism, familial
scorn, government censorship and the pursuit of an endlessly redefined
notion of freedom. Through the film, China is shown as a place – like
contemporary Russia, perhaps - where rock and roll has yet to lose its
subversive and rebellious character, where musicians strive for more
than fame and fortune.

ROCK HEART BEIJING will be presented by JONATHAN CAMPBELL. From
2000-2010 he lived in Beijing where he worked as a drummer, agent and
chronicler of the local rock scene. His book Red Rock: The Long,
Strange March of Chinese Rock & Roll (2011) tells the tale of the rise
and development of “yaogun”, a Chinese word for – and take on - rock
music.
