Seventeen years ago today, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake took place at 14:28 on May 12, 2008, destroying a large area around Beichuan city in China’s Sichuan province and causing 70,000 deaths and 375,000 casualties. Days later, filmmaker Du Haibin arrived at the area to capture the devastation as well as the recovery effort.

Du Haibin's award-winning documentary of the earthquake that devastated the province explores how victims, citizens and government respond to a national tragedy, depicting a world in chaos, both material and moral.

"Without judgment but with a deep compassion for their subjects, the filmmakers of 1428 bring us a myriad of individual stories of absurdity, confusion and grief."—CNN

"The trilogy’s duration, if daunting, is essential. The footage is raw and up-close, and over the course of ten hours, it viscerally conveys the insatiable relentlessness — not to mention, the soulless monotony — of this kind of mass production. Watch these films, and you’ll never look at your clothes the same way again." —Devika Girish, The New York Times. Read more 🔗 nytimes.com/2025/05/02/movies/international-movies-streaming.html
