Maotanchang High School, a.k.a. "The Gaokao 高考 Factory," is located in a small town in China's Anhui Province. It's a "cram school" with military-style discipline, where high school students train round the clock for the national college entrance exam. Maotanchang employs only male teachers, whose jobs and bonuses are dependent on their students' test scores. They monitor students' study time with CCTV and raid dormitories at random. This film offers a rare glimpse inside the walls of one of the world's most intense educational institutions.
The film is in Mandarin and Anhui dialects with English subtitles and runs 95 minutes.
This program is co-sponsored by the USC East Asian Library and Beijing Normal University. The screening is free, but rsvps are necessary and space is limited.
