The Haitian-born filmmaker takes Nil inside a theatre festival in Port-au-Prince that's been happening for more than twenty years...in the face of earthquakes, hurricanes, cholera, presidential assassinations, and gang warfare.

Ai Weiwei’s Turandot - Dissident artist Ai Weiwei confronts modern totalitarianism through an unlikely canvas: directing Puccini's controversial opera Turandot in Rome. He transforms this century-old tale of power and prejudice into a mirror reflecting today's global crises, from pandemic politics to war.
AI WEIWEI’S TURANDOT follows Chinese revolutionary artist, Ai Weiwei, as he brings his artistic vision and iconoclastic activism to Puccini’s Turandot at the Rome Opera House during his operatic directorial debut, using the opera as a backdrop to address many issues that plague mankind including the Ukraine war, refugee crises, the Covid pandemic, and more.
