The Diaries of Chinese International Students in New Zealand
Li Tao's documentary about four Chinese international students in a New Zealand high school is dedicated to teenagers who travel between cultures. She renders their experience with great insight and tenderness, for the edification of those they've left behind in one country, and the enlightenment of those who don't quite know what to make of them in another. Each of the four is given a chapter in which he or she is captured in a phase that represents a different aspect of the foreign student experience. Ken is seen at his loneliest; Rose at her most embracing of Kiwi freedoms; Lin at her most conflicted and uneasy; and the formidable Jane at her most triumphantly unassimilated. Together they provide a finely nuanced portrayal of cultural displacement.
