FOLLOW YOUR HEART is Duncan Jepson’s first venture in filmmaking. By day, Jepson is a corporate lawyer in Hong Kong. His daring documentary explores the life and ideals of a new generation of Chinese, focusing on the beliefs, work and family of a number of China's successful independent Hip Hop artists. The group, spread across China, believe in Old School values: self-expression, freedom and truth to one-self. The film investigates the dynamic between the inflexible political environment and a modernizing ancient culture, the issues that are affecting Chinese youth such as Chinese-ness, geography, freedom, family, information, consumerism, wealth and individuality. Finally the film sets out to describe the high optimism of this new generation and the future that they want to build.
