Wang Qiong's bold debut feature explores the personal and psychological impact of China's one-child policy — starting with her own younger sister Jin who was abandoned at birth and survived for a week in a box on the streets before being adopted by their uncle. Filmed over seven years, Qiong takes us inside Jin's daily life as well as interviewing her parents about their painful past, never shying away from the difficult questions. All About My Sisters is an unflinching excavation of family trauma and an expanded portrait of contemporary China.
An Icarus Films release.
