In the 1990s, the Chinese government encourages poor farmers to donate their blood for one month's wages. Tainted blood and contaminated equipment infect millions with HIV.

Ben Kenigsberg

New York Times

This isn't a groundbreaking documentary, but it does pay its subjects the ultimate courtesy, treating them as officials have not: as fully rounded human beings.

Los Angeles Times

The documentary isn't a dour investigation of corruption - though the subject certainly merits it - instead placing Ximei and her kindness at its heart for an even more moving, effective story of resilience.

Film Threat

The film offers a thorough and compassionate study of an individual whose story too often gets ignored.

Rated: 8/10

Jennie Kermode

Eye for Film

Though the lack of any clear conclusion may frustrate some viewers, it presents a slice of social history whose value is likely to increase with time as the wider framework within which it sits becomes clearer.

Rated: 3.5/5
