Plot

Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry is an unprecedentedly intimate exploration into the life of the globally celebrated Chinese artist and activist, Ai Weiwei. This feature-length film presents a detailed tableau of a man who has drawn the world's gaze through his audacious artworks as much as his daring socio-political acts. It navigates the intricate maze where artistry converges with activism, all under the lens of Ai Weiwei, China's leading contemporary artist. From 2008 to 2010, Beijing-based journalist turned filmmaker, Alison Klayman, was granted a rare glimpse into the world of Ai Weiwei. As she shadowed his artistic journey, Klayman captured Ai's creative processes for major museum displays, his personal interactions with family, and his escalating confrontations with the Chinese government. Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry delves deeper than the canvas, providing a detailed depiction of the artist that goes beyond his art - it intimately explores the man himself. Klayman's film is not just a portrait of an artist, but an insightful exploration of modern China through one of its most captivating and influential figures. With every frame, this film invites viewers to witness the intriguing dance between art, activism, and the individual.
