Blind Shaft
Directed by Li Yang
Produced by Tag Spledour and Films, Bronze Age Films
A bleak, morally corrosive crime drama about two miners trapped in a cycle of murder and extortion, where conscience begins to crack under the weight of complicity.
Two Chinese miners, who make money by killing fellow miners and then extorting money from the mine owner to keep quiet about the "accident", happen upon their latest victim. But one of them begins to have second thoughts.
