Film "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry"

This past week, I went to see the documentary "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry" by Alison Klayman.
Film website: http://aiweiweineversorry.com/

Which comes first, politics or art? Does art evoke change? How does technology (Internet, social media, Twitter, etc) act as a medium for today's artists? This film provides an informative portrait of the Chinese conceptual artist and activist Ai Weiwei.  An inspiring quote by the artist, "I am now more of a chess player than an artist, waiting for my opponent to make the next move. If we don't push, nothing happens. Life is more interesting when you make a little effort." If you haven't already, this documentary is worth seeing.
