Margaret Mead Film Fest: I Wanna Be Boss (Trailer)

Strategy for the exams is more important than knowledge is the advice given by one teacher at an elite high school in Chongqing, China. Director Marije Meerman follows four students as they compete for the few coveted spots at Beijings two top universities. Pressure from teachers who earn bonuses based on test scores and guilt from parents who sacrificed to send their children to school only add to the tension in the final weeks before the exams—exams that represents their single chance to stake a claim in the global economy.

this is a superb movie that I had seen on national tv. it's very realistic, without any nice saying and censoreship. I was very surprised about it's frank character of students, really saying what is going on..

pls tell me about the soundtracks that are used in the film..!!

This is an awesome film! I hope it finds wide distribution. It says a lot about China's culture, past and present, but also about the whole logic of testing and what it means to be human. Look for it, ask for it!
