Dead Souls is a 2018 documentary film directed by Wang Bing and documents the testimony of survivors of the hard-labor camp in the Gobi Desert in Gansu, China. The film was shot from 2005 to 2017 and covers most of China's provinces, visiting more than 120 survivors of the Jiabiangou and Mingshui reeducation camps, which were set up by China's Communist regime in the late 1950s. The film premiered at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.[1][2][3]
