Ai Weiwei: Without Fear or Favour (2010)

Broadcast before his April 2011 detention by Chinese authorities—and his release after eleven weeks in custody—this arts documentary profiles Ai Weiwei, China’s most renowned and politically vocal contemporary artist. Architect, photographer, curator, and blogger, Ai has built a career defined by fearless creativity. Alan Yentob traces his life and work, showing how this resolute figure keeps pushing for artistic liberty, even as he operates within the confining reach of an authoritarian state.
