Festival history

Journalist Deng Fei set up the Free Lunch Campaign in 2011, raising $3.9 million from Chinese social-media users in just one year and pioneered the power of micro-blogging in China's battle against inequality. This film is part of the series, a partnership between GE and Cinelan.which enlists renowned documentary filmmakers to create short nonfiction films focused on the incredible human power of ideas and invention. These films tell the stories of visionaries such as scientists, engineers, economists, mathematicians, physicists, financiers, and in some cases everyday folks who have facilitated human progress or reshaped our world by their efforts and inventions.
