This eye-opening film is billed as “the first documentary exposé of the Chinese government’s multi-billion dollar Confucius Institute (CI), a Chinese language program now found in over 1,600 universities and schools world wide, and the growing global controversies surrounding it—loss of academic integrity, violations to human rights codes, foreign influence, and even potential infringements on national security.” There are currently 29 UK universities with Confucius Institutes. You may be relieved to learn that the University of Bristol is not among them.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Doris Liu and other experts. It takes place in The Writing Room at City Hall and admission is free. Go here to register and for further information.
