Liam Bates will present a clip of his film "Motorbikes, Mao and a Yak" at Webster University
Title: China’s Next Generation: a 7,000km adventure on motorbikes
Location: Webster University, Bellevue, Geneva
Description: In June 2009 four young men from Switzerland, Brazil, Tibet and Eastern China completed a 7,000 km journey across China on motorcycles – through the Himalayas, Mongolian grasslands and into the densely populated Eastern coast, talking to young people about their changing lives, hopes and dreams.
The presentation: Liam Bates will present a short film clip from the countless hours of high definition footage shot throughout the trip and discuss some of the views expressed by youth across China.
Bates will show the changing face of China by retelling adventures from their trip, screening interviews and photos. From the stories of farmers, gangsters, nomads, musicians and business students across the country, he offers an entertaining and informative look at China’s next generation.
The event will help raise funds to cover production costs of their film, “Motorbikes, Mao and a Yak”, expected to be released in late 2010. The documentary will eventually be available in English, French, Spanish and Chinese.
Q&A session after the presentation in English, French and Chinese.
