Critic Reviews
Minning Town (2021) Review: Poverty Relief as Human Drama
★★★★☆
Minning Town is a 2021 Chinese drama about Ningxia villagers resettled in the desert with help from Fujian. A state-backed story told with real human warmth.
Yes, with reservations. It is a moving, well-acted drama about rural hardship and change, though viewers should expect an official, optimistic view of government policy.
