China is very much in the forefront of our current geopolitical dialogue today. To the unknowing, it has been at the forefront for decades. Thinking of the film The Revolutionary that screened at the National Constitution Center made us think of the times we have picked up and left home for change, adventure and / or intrigue. Rarely do many leave to take part in global change.
Produced and directed by Lucy Ostrander and Don Sellers, a married couple from Seattle, and Irv Drasnin, “The Revolutionary” was partially based on “The Man Left Behind,” a memoir by Rittenberg, who is now a 91-year-old consultant to American businesses in China. It is a must see documentary that tells a story that once told, just might change how you see China today.

A quick note, we are excited to be working with PAFA and their film theater group. We will be screening both Friday and Sunday and have a bold mix of local and international films. Thank you to Paul Hamannaka and Judi Garst for the help and encouragement. We are looking forward to working with you both.
