"By the time you get to Ai Weiwei’s sitdown with Chelsea Manning, the film has become a wholly divergent experience from where it began — an experience that if possible is even more full of persistent hope and meaningful emotion than even the landmark exhibition itself."—L.A. Weekly

An absorbing new documentary expanding on the exhibition @Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz, organized in 2014 by the film’s director, Cheryl Haines, and developed by Weiwei while under house arrest in Beijing following his detention by Chinese authorities in April 2011.

"It’s no wonder both the congressional new guard, like freshman representatives Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and old guard, such as Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others, sing his inspirational praises here.
