'Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry' is a documentary about Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. He's a fascinating man who continuously speaks out for the individual and rejects the ideas and practices of the current Chinese government. As the film progress it focuses more on his politics than his artwork. His artwork is incredible but not a lot is shown in the film and it seems all the art that is shown has a politically charged message. The film starts in 2008 with his construction of the 'birds nest' for the Beijing Olympics then his protest of it for the governments evacuation of residential neighborhoods. It follows Ai Weiwei until 2011. The man himself is fascinating and it paints a real portrait of what the Chinese Government does and can do to an individual that speaks out. As I felt the film coming to a close I only had one thought...
I didn't want it to end.
