Beijing's Underground Artists (4x44)

Air date: Dec 11, 2015

Ever since China's underground music and art culture started to really emerge in the 1980's, artists have had to release their work while maintaining a delicate relationship with authorities. Even today, the government still cracks down on what they consider vulgar culture. We follow a contemporary artist, a rock musician and a filmmaker as they search for ways to express themselves in modern-day China.
