- DirectorMarije MeermanThe pupils from the third class of Middle School #2 in Chongqing, the best school in central China, are being honed to fill important positions in the new global economy. The pupils are children of the new Chinese middle class. Often their parents have lived through hunger and their children must now succeed where they did not. The members of China's youngest generation have the eyes of the world pinned upon them. Will these representatives of the "I want-generation" live up to their promise? Is our fear for these smart, hard working children justified? Most of the children at school in Chongqing have been raised to be competitive, they now have to live up to the high expectations of their parents and school. In I wanna be boss... we follow a number of pupils through the final part of their third class. Their results at the end of this third school year will determine who will and who will not be part of the dreamed future. This is the time when it becomes clear how much chance the pupils stand of a (materially) successful life.
- DirectorSimone de VriesStarsJohn CallahanThis is a documentary about the provocative American cartoonist John Callahan. At the age of 21 Callahan got involved in a serious car-accident and was paralyzed from the waist down. Drawing cartoons has become his way to express himself although he can hardly use his hands. With a raw style, pen clutched between his hands, he draws cynical and ruthless observations of mankind. His work is praised and criticised. Callahan has provoked protest-marches and receives many angry letters. He was fired at The Miami Herald journal after drawing a cartoon in honour of Martin Luther King Jr. Day; a little boy with a wet spot on his pyjamas saying: "Mommie I had a dream". Callahan does not understand why people get so upset about his work but he admits at having been an angry young man for a long time, trying to point the hypocrisy of people. Callahan also writes ànd sings songs. He likes to play the ukulele, something that is very hard for him to do. Of course the songs are no lullabies, lines like "Life is like a box of hand-grenades" and "Something always keeps me from committing suicide in the fall" reflect his way of thinking.
