The story

The documentary is about a child rape case in China (involving a government official) and the protests against it by activists Ye Haiyan, Shan Lihua, Tang Jitian, Wang Jianfen, Jia Lingmin, Wang Yu, and Huang. A photograph of Ye holding a sign that says "Principal, get a room with me and leave the schoolgirls alone" goes viral on Chinese social media, thus raising awareness about the case. Subsequently, Ye is the victim of severe harassment by policemen and thugs (who, the succession of events imply, act on behalf of Chinese authorities).
