Mouthpiece

Storyline

In democratic countries, the media is the mouthpiece of the public. However, in a Shenzhen TV station where protecting the interests of the Party trumps all, reporters are merely mouthpieces of the government. 'First Spot' is a TV programe that investigates social disparities in the community, but most of their coverage is 'buried' away. The film follows the daily operations of the TV station and hits the streets with the reporters who attempt to unveil the city and its people in all its different forms and faces.
