Kickstarter Project Funds Film About Chinese Citizen Journalists
We write a lot about startups who create apps and web services, but we don’t often get a chance to write about people who are making waves in the media space — especially in China. It’s there we find two citizen journalists – 27-year-old Zhou Shuguang (aka Zola) and 57-year-old ‘Tiger Temple’ – who have been working to tell stories that often get buried by state censors. I’m not familiar with the latter, but having spent a few years in China and following the news there, I’d say that there are few bloggers as ballsy or as tech savvy as Zola. I’ve mentioned him in a few stories before, but over the years he has traveled around China and reported on various protests, riots, and other events. He has been detained and harassed by police before, and discouraged from continuing his reporting. And if that resume isn’t impressive enough, he hosts seminars in Beijing on new media technology as well. A film is being made about Zola and Tiger, and money is being raised via Kickstarter to take care of post-production costs. While I haven’t heard much about Zola in the past year or so, I think this is certainly a project worth supporting.
The film, entitled High Tech, Low Life, has been selected to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this month. There are only six days left, and as I write this, the Kickstarter project has only raised just over half of its $23,500 goal.
You can check out more information about the project below, and decide for yourself if you’d like to pitch in.

「Kickstarter Project」が中国市民ジャーナリストを題材にした映画を支援
私達はアプリやウェブサービスを作るスタートアップについては多くの記事を書いているが、メディア業界 − 特に中国 − で波風を立てている人達について書くチャンスはほとんどない。私達は中国で２人の市民ジャーナリストを見つけた。27才の Zhou Shuguang （通称：Zola）と57才の「Tiger Temple」で、この２人は国の検閲でしばしば埋もれてしまう話を伝えようと取り組んでいる。

私は「Tiger Temple」についてはあまり知らないが、中国で数年過ごし、中国のニュースを見ているので言えることだが、中国にも Zola と同じくらい勇敢でテクノロジーに詳しいブロガーが数人はいると思う。Zola については以前の記事で数回触れたことがあるが、彼は数年間中国を旅行してまわり、様々な抗議デモ、暴動、その他の出来事をリポートをしている。警察に拘留されて虐められたこともあるし、報道をやめるようにと邪魔をされたこともある。これらの経歴が驚くに値しないのであれば、Zola が新しいメディア・テクノロジーに関するセミナーを北京で開催していることも付け加えておく。
Zola とTiger Temple を題材にした映画が制作されており、制作後の費用を賄うために Kickstarter を通じて募金が集められている。ここ１年ほど、Zola のことをあまり聞かないが、これは確かに支援する価値のあるプロジェクトだと思う。
この映画のタイトルは「High Tech, Low Life」で、今月開かれるトライベカ映画フェスティバルで初上映されることになっている。あと6日しかない。私がこの記事を書いている時点で、Kickstarter のプロジェクトには目標額23,500ドルの半分ちょっとしか集まっていない。
