Episode overview

In Guangzhou, a group of university students have formed a choir and are singing about their discontent with society. But what would normally be considered a mild form of protest in most countries could be a radical social movement in China. Following pressure after their first performance last year students are divided on whether to be more assertive or milder in the tone of their lyrics for their next show. In this episode of Asia Insight we focus on the Guangzhou Complaints Choir as they prepare for their second ever performance, ending with them boldly attempting to raise awareness by singing out in the streets of Guangzhou.
