The Hidden Battlefield is a feature length documentary film directed, produced, edited, and scored by young filmmaker Harrison Schaaf. The film tells the story of two warring clans in a small Chinese village: one wants to build a school, the other does not, and it all comes down to a violent and politically tumultuous seven year conflict as the unequivocally good act of building a school in rural China is brought into question. The screening will be followed by a talk with the director.

Harrison Schaaf received his B.A. in East Asian Studies from Wesleyan and is currently an assistant producer on a feature length film in China starring Zhang Ziyi.
