Ai Weiwei: Yours Truly VOD // Hot Docs at Home

Human rights become profoundly personal when Ai Weiwei, China's most famous international artist, transforms San Francisco’s Alcatraz Island prison into an astonishing expression of socially engaged art. Drawing on his own experience as a former political prisoner—and inspired by the memory of his father, the dissident poet Ai Quing—Ai invites visitors to write postcards to prisoners of conscience around the world, revealing the powerful impact of simple acts of kindness. Taking you inside the monumental exhibit—and featuring interviews with former political detainees, including Chelsea Manning, and Ai himself—Yours Truly is a testament to individual courage and the role of art in the fight for social change.
