A look at two millennial Chinese women, connected by their fascination with the secret language of sisterhood and the desire to protect it.
Award-winning documentarian and Columbia Journalism School Professor June Cross interviews documentarian Violet Du Feng and screens a 15-20 minute clip of her film Hidden Letters.
Spanning past and present, Hidden Letters explores an ancient, secret language, devised by Chinese women to communicate with each other in an oppressive society, that a generation today is resurrecting to help navigate misogyny.
