Life Is A Belief is a thoughtful documentary that weaves together the lives of two men from distinct backgrounds. Huang Zhongjian from Foshan, a post-90s wage earner, delves into Choy Lee Fut and lion dance, using these forms to address social justice in his hometown. Meanwhile, Ahet, an aged saddler in Northern Xinjiang, tirelessly works to relieve his sons' debts. The film captures a quiet intensity, blending personal struggle with cultural heritage. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments of reflection on the sacrifices these men make. The atmospheric visuals enhance the storytelling, while the practical effect of real-life struggles adds a rawness that feels both heavy and real. It’s a unique look at resilience.
