An Informant
A short extract from the 1979 film “One Hundred Entertainmentsproduced by Bob Kingsbury for Film Australia.

 

The film follows an acrobatic troupe in Shensi Province China as they perform and talk about their lives.

Circulated in the days when Australian filmmakers sought to understand China. Nowadays these sort of films are no longer made or circulated  only films critical of China are made
