在这部明天会更好纪录片片中,海拔一千四百公尺的峭壁上,四川省古路村与世隔绝,高空迴廊连骡马都难行,仰之弥高不只学问,生活所需品都得用双肩扛着,用双脚攀上去。村裡唯一一所小学由一位代课老师守着,某天,来了自诩为「山上唐吉诃德」的志愿者老师包唐韬,跟随来了物资和善款,还有人性的冲突矛盾,扰乱了古路村千百年来的宁静。当捐款、志愿者与媒体涌进,古路村被带出山崖,面对现代化与资本主义冲击,是再见桃花源,或乌托邦不再?
耗时五年,更高视角,更贴地靠近生活底气,以镜头记录峭壁上正发生的转化演变,也聚焦转变发生后,生活如何在冲击下寻找平衡。
Gulu is a village of Yi people, located beyond the cliff's edge in Sichuan, China, there is no electricity. The villagers used the lianas and Heaven-Ladders to climb up and down the cliffs like a monkey. They had hardly contact with the outside world until a mule-horse-trail out of the rocks in 2004. The substitute teacher Shen is the only teacher in the Gulu Primary School and has worked over 20 years. Shen would really like to become a real teacher, but he has just a middle school education. One day, the young man Bao who called himself 'Don Quixote' came to Gulu because of the lianas and Heaven-Ladders. He felt, Gulu was just his utopia. Since then Shen's fate has changed dramatically
