MIM Movie Review

This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

   China Cry (Nora Lambe, 1990)

   Anti-Mao and Cultural Revolution propaganda film, supposedly from a
   true story. A young Christian Chinese woman faces a firing squad for
   her Christian beliefs is saved by an act of God. Chinese communists
   depicted without the slightest attention to historical accuracy. The
   film concludes that some day China will be "free," and blames Mao for
   Deng Xiaoping-era atrocities.  Chinese prisons were a model compared
   with U.S. prisons. Countless bourgeois and communist reports alike find
   that the Chinese prisons actually rehabilitated prisoners (ask for the
   MIM literature list).  And if the point is to portray China as a police
   state, then the Christians should also do a movie explaining how it is
   that the United States has the highest imprisonment rate in the world.
