Lauren Layfield introduces Dissident at the Doorstep on the podcast recommendation podcast - Your Next Podcast. What happens when someone becomes a human-rights icon – but then turns out to stand for something else entirely? Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng was locked up for fighting against China's One Child Policy and suffered years of unlawful imprisonment. In 2012, following a daring midnight escape, he landed in the United States a hero. But that's only the beginning of his story. Just a few years later, he would re-enter the spotlight as an avid Trump supporter and a “Stop the Steal” rally-goer. How did this happen? Alison Klayman, Colin Jones, and Yangyang Cheng set out on a journey to find out – did Guangcheng change, or was he totally misunderstood from the beginning? You can follow Dissident at the Doorstep and listen to all of the episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

Scott and Manohla Dargis on their international list of 20 Directors to Watch. Alison’s documentary work has been recognized with awards and box office success, and she also directs nonfiction series and commercials. Her debut feature AI WEIWEI: NEVER SORRY, about the Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei, premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival where it was awarded a US Documentary Special Jury Prize for Spirit of Defiance. It had its international premiere at Berlinale and went on to be shortlisted for an Academy Award, nominated for two Emmys, and earn Alison a DGA Award nomination and an appearance on The Colbert Report among other honors. NEVER SORRY has now been translated into over 26 languages and had major theatrical releases around the world, including on over 200 screens with IFC Films in the United States. It was also one of the highest grossing films of 2012 directed by a woman. Her newest documentary THE BRINK was theatrically released in 2019 by Magnolia Pictures. In it she takes on former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, following him for over a year as he tries to promote his brand of extreme nationalism and unite the far-right anti-immigrant parties of Europe. After its Sundance premiere, Variety called the film "impeccably crafted...an engaging and enraging, disturbing and highly revealing movie." In his Critic's Pick review, A.O Scott wrote "it's a fast-moving, tightly packed, at times unnervingly entertaining documentary.” Alison’s other films include the Netflix Original feature documentary TAKE YOUR PILLS about the role of prescription stimulants in a hyper-competitive, overly medicated America. The Emmy and BAFTA-nominated film was executive produced by Maria Shriver and had its world premiere at the 2018 SXSW Film Festival. She is also the director of THE 100 YEARS SHOW about 103-year-old Cuban-American painter Carmen Herrera, who worked in obscurity for decades until finally receiving recognition late in life. The film was a festival favorite and five-time winner of “Best Documentary Short.” It had a theatrical run at New York’s Film Forum, and screened at the Whitney and other museums before being released worldwide on Netflix.

This week on the Sinica Podcast, Kaiser and Jeremy speak with Christian Shepherd, the Beijing correspondent for the Financial Times. They discuss his debut long-form piece for the FT, Fear and oppression in Xinjiang: China’s war on Uighur culture, dive into the policy drivers behind the assimilation efforts being carried out by the central government in Xinjiang, and discuss his experiences while reporting from the region.What to listen for on this week’s Sinica Podcast:16:22: In an effort to forcefully assimilate Xinjiang into greater China, public signage in Uyghur has been replaced with Mandarin Chinese, and bookstores have been emptied of Uyghur-language texts. Christian noticed the same trend in legal language: “If you look at policy documents now, in Xinjiang and other regions, there has been that shift [to Mandarin]. The use of hanyu [汉语 hànyǔ, Mandarin Chinese] is diminished. Instead, it’s all guoyu [国语 guóyǔ, national language].” The linguistic replacement is also occurring in schools. Christian states: “In fact, in the schooling system, the emphasis is on that national language, instead of [on] the idea of there being multiple languages that were on an equal status.” 34:26: Have there been any legal efforts to change the language within the Chinese constitution regarding minority policy? Christian explains: “I think there’s a real desire on the part of the Party to continue to pay lip service to the idea of being the champion of minority rights. Clearly, that is what is talked about through all government propaganda, and you see it in billboards all over Xinjiang about how Xi Jinping cares about the rights of the individual, [about] minorities, and about fostering ethnic unity and how that will lead to one great big family nationally.” Recommendations:Jeremy: The Planet Money podcast, particularly episode 939, The Working Tapes of Studs Terkel. Christian: Under Red Skies, by Karoline Kan, and the work of Darren Byler, including his column at SupChina and his blog, Living Otherwise.

Director Alison Klayman (“Ai Wei Wei: Never Sorry”) spent a year on the road with Steve Bannon as he met with European right wing leaders to spread his nationalist ideology. That journey is captured in “The Brink.” The film’s producer Marie Therese Guirgis started the project with a Bannon connection from outside politics.

President Trump & top Republicans in the House are calling on Congressman Adam Schiff to resign following the partial release of the Mueller Report. The Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee became the face of the House's investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Schiff joins us to make his case for "collusion in plain sight". He says it may not have risen to a level of a criminal conspiracy, but there's certainly corruption. Then, a debate about that & more with Ann Coulter & Stephanie Miller, among the most prominent conservative & progressive voices, respectively. They talk about the Mueller report, Impeachment calls, border politics, and Jussie Smollett. Then, a look at a documentary about Steve Bannon. We talk with Alison Klayman, who followed Bannon around for more than a year. ---------- The Issue Is: with Elex Michaelson is California's only statewide political show, broadcast from FOX 11 Studios in Los Angeles.

Who is Steve Bannon? The evil mastermind of a far right global counter-revolution that's taking the world by storm; or a shallow, frumpy guy doing the bidding of his billionaire backers. Could he be both? One thing for certain, Alison Klayman's verite documentary The Brink, which follows Bannon in the months after his exit from the Trump White House, is the essential portrait of one of the central players in global politics. Klayman explains to co-hosts Eric, Kate, and Medaya how she came to have such unlimited access to Bannon, her reflections on his toxic politics and on the man himself: his character, his motivations and what he hopes to accomplish. Also, Geoff Dyer, author of Broadsword Calling Danny Boy, returns to recommend Annie Ernaux's "impersonal autobiography" The Years, an astonishing first-hand reflection on the cultural, political, and economic changes over the 2nd half of the 20th century.

When Steve Bannon left his position as White House chief strategist less than a week after the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally in August 2017, he was already a notorious figure in Trump's inner circle, and for bringing a far-right ideology into the highest echelons of American politics. Unconstrained by an official post - though some say he still has a direct line to the White House - he became free to peddle influence as a perceived kingmaker, turning his controversial brand of nationalism into a global movement. Alison Klayman’s THE BRINK follows Bannon through the 2018 mid-term elections in the United States, shedding light on his efforts to mobilize and unify far-right parties in order to win seats in the May 2019 European Parliamentary elections. To maintain his power and influence, the former Goldman Sachs banker and media investor reinvents himself - as he has many times before - this time as the self-appointed leader of a global populist movement. Keen manipulator of the press and gifted self-promoter, Bannon continues to draw headlines and protests wherever he goes, feeding the powerful myth on which his survival relies. Director and Cinematographer Alison Klayman joins us for a conversation on gaining access and the confidence of a man who has maneuvered his way into the darkest corners of white-wing global brinksmanship.

Steve Bannon gleefully takes credit for inflicting Donald Trump upon the world, and if he has his way, he'll help prop up more populist leaders. A new documentary called "The Brink" brings us closer to the most deplorable of the deplorables. Hear more about the film and the importance of taking a closer look at the Steve Bannons of the world from director Alison Klayman and producer Marie Therese Gurgis.

“The Brink” is a startling new documentary directed and filmed by Alison Klayman (“Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry,” “Take Your Pills”) that follows former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon as he takes his effort to spread extreme nationalism from the U.S. to the rest of the world. With unprecedented access, Klayman’s fly-on-the-wall historical document employs a vérité approach that aims to expose Bannon’s tactics, including his relationship with the media. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, Alison Klayman and producer Marie Therese Guirgis discuss their experience making “The Brink” and why they feel it is a film every American needs to see.

Alison Klayman and Marie Therese Guirgis, the Director and Producer respectively of the upcoming documentary film The Brink, fill you in on all you need to know about their "behind the curtain" documentary on polarizing figure Steve Bannon. Then George Shipley, an Austin, TX based political consultant, joins the discussion to weigh in on Beto'mania in the wake of O'Rourke's announcement to run for President in 2020.

In 2019 her documentary The Brink follows Steve Bannon, (yes, THAT Steve Bannon) after he left the White House through the 2018 US mid-term elections.

Oh My Gawd, Becca. It's episode 17 already. We gotta buy some adderall from your brother and go drink schnapps with Billy over by the playground. We assume that type of scenario has occurred in the lives of the young people we meet in Alison Klayman's new Netflix documentary "Take Your Pills". It's about the rise and reach of adderall, and the history of us feeding amphetamines to kids. It might just be a commercial for certain personality types. The Documenteers tackle this educational film and it's ok if you get sweaty. You might get sweaty. We can be sweaty together.

A discussion between Anna Broinowski and Nick Torrens, hosted by Linda Jaivin, held prior to a special Documentary Australia Foundation fundraiser screening of the award-winning documentary Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry (2012), by Alison Klayman. Recorded at Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation (SCAF), 5 June 2014.

Alison Klayman, director of the documentary "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry," discusses the making of the film, and her experience with the iconoclastic artist/activist, with Asia Society Film Curator La Frances Hui. (38 min., 1 sec.)

We review Alison Klayman’s documentary on the Chinese avant-garde artist and activist Ai Weiwei whose outspoken politics have made him known the world over. The film screens from Fri 10 August here at Cornerhouse.

Ai Weiwei is China's most famous international artist, and its most outspoken domestic critic. Against a backdrop of strict censorship and an unresponsive legal system, Ai expresses himself and organizes people through art and social media. In response, Chinese authorities have shut down his blog, beat him up, bulldozed his newly built studio, and held him in secret detention. AI WEIWEI: NEVER SORRY is the inside story of a dissident for the digital age who inspires global audiences and blurs the boundaries of art and politics. First-time director Alison Klayman gained unprecedented access to Ai while working as a journalist in China. Her detailed portrait provides a nuanced exploration of contemporary China and one of its most compelling public figures.

In the week that artist Ai Weiwei was detained by the Chinese authorities, Mary Ann Sieghart profiles the outspoken designer of the 'Bird's Nest' Olympics stadium.Reporter - Mary Ann Sieghart Producer - Ben Crighton (The programme includes material from Alison Klayman's documentary: Ai Weiwei - Never Sorry).
