Artist’s Statement

Heading South comes from my experience when I was a kid. Like many children of broken families, I had to travel between two families after my parents got divorced. The film was filmed in Hulun Buir where big urbanisation is happening. I wish the audience can feel the real living situation and plight of the locals and feel empathetic to the changes in the girl’s family.
