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.
