DRAGON TEARS
BÉRANGÈRE MAÏA NATASHA PARIZEAU

I am the director of “Dragon Tears,” a 110-minute feature documentary film which digs deep into the reality of China’s environmental collapse in light of global causations, human, and planetary implications. This film critically examines the failing ideologies and political doctrines enabling ecological destruction and the violent normalization of localized morbidity in China. This documentary establishes that China’s ecological breakdown, trans-boundary water/air pollution, and associated biospheric risks, are manifestations of a systemic crisis of planetary emergency requiring immediate attention, as well as a stark warning of a much deeper spiritual crisis. This film demonstrates that both China’s and global ecological resilience capacities are decreasing rapidly, and establishes the core principles for a cultural paradigm shift. This film integrates the evolution of human consciousness, the development of ecological consciousness, and the cultural determination to succeed. The objective of this project is to fluidly energize public debates on ecological justice, a post-growth paradigm, and self-realization.
