Never Sorry

I recently saw the moving documentary Ai WeiWei: Never Sorry.  The film relates the story of Chinese artist Ai WeiWei's controversial and complex work (largely focusing on works of political activism) through a series of interviews with him, his staff, friends and family as well as quiet shots of his studio, studio assistants, and art installations.   It is funny, thought provoking, and inspiring.

If you want the full DC/Ai experience, you can check out his zodiac heads at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (currently on display around the outdoor fountain) and wait in anticipation for his exhibition (also at the Hirshhorn) opening October 7th called Ai WeiWei: According to What?

Here is the trailer (fyi: there is some profanity & inappropriate gestures in the trailer):
