Serfs

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A season of films from China starring Wongdui, Padmayangje
This dramatic story of a Tibetan serf and his eventual triumph over the man who enslaved him might be a medieval melodrama, with its ' living-Buddha ' secretly raising a private army. In fact, the film is set in the 1950s and the leading actor's own life closely resembled that of the serf he plays.
Screenplay by HUANG ZONGJIANG Directed by LI JUN
