The Last Moose of Aoluguya – film screening and Q&A with director Gu Tao, examining the dwindling Ewenki population in northern China.
The award-winning filmmaker Tao Gu has spent the last several years exploring life among the Ewenkis, an ethnic minority in north-eastern China, whose fate suddenly changed when the government in 2003 introduced a ban on hunting and forcefully displaced the group to a reservation. Since then, most Ewenkis have turned to the bottle. This is also true for the protagonist of this both heartbreaking and absurdly funny film, Weijia.
