A Chinese mother retraces surviving the Chinese Cultural Revolution

Part of the LA Times Short Doc series, and winner of best animated documentary at DocLA 2021, “The Chemical Factory” is a short animated documentary featuring a Chinese immigrant mother recounting her life growing up during the tumultuous 1950’s communist China to her American son during the COVID-19 pandemic. Faded memories of the Chinese Cultural Revolution are brilliantly rendered using groundbreaking technology, while drawing striking connections to the spate of violence towards the Asian community in America.
