Premiering at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2014, Nowhere To Call Home has been seen worldwide including in China, where it has been shown at Xinhua News Agency and leading universities and high schools. In the Q&A Director Jocelyn Ford will discuss the reaction among different generations in China, and its implications for changing attitudes toward social inequality among Centennials.
