MULBERRY CHILD

By Susan Morgan Cooper
| American Dream Pictures | 85’ - 55’ | USA | 2011 | HD
Narrated by Jacqueline Bisset. After living in America for many years, Jian Ping finally finds the courage to write ‘Mulberry Child’, a book about her traumatic childhood during Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China. A time when millions had their lives destroyed and their reputations ruined. Jian’s father, a high ranking government official, was one of those people.

Sadly, Jian’s American raised daughter Lisa has little interest in her Chinese roots or her mother’s memoirs. But during the 2008 Beijing olympics, Lisa travels with her mother to China to visit her dying grandfather. It is on that journey that Lisa finally reads ’Mulberry Child’ and finds that her mother’s past haunts her own future.
