Synopsis
Armed with laptops, cell phones and digital cameras, two Chinese men document under-reported news and social issues stories as they travel the country. 57-year-old Tiger Temple becomes China's first "citizen reporter" when he chronicles an unfolding murder case and 27-year-old Zola reports on sensitive news to gain fame and improve his prospects. While working on their stories, the two men must learn to navigate China's evolving censorship regulations in order to avoid the risk of political persecution.
