The Ditch (2010)

The film portrays the brutal suffering of prisoners in Jiabiangou, a forced labor camp in the Gobi Desert during the winter of 1960–1961, as they endure exhaustion, starvation, and death. Set against the aftermath of Mao Zedong’s failed Hundred Flowers Campaign, it reveals how intellectuals punished as “right-wing deviants” were sent to camps for re-education.
