Autumn Gem: A film

Meet the "Chinese Joan of Arc" Qiu Jin (1875 - 1907), a radical women's rights activist who defied tradition to become the leader of a revolutionary army. Using scholar interviews, archival materials, and dramatic recreation scenes based on her original writings, Autumn Gem brings the story of Qiu Jin to life. The film was produced and directed by two San Francisco Bay Area Chinese American filmmakers, Rae Chang and Adam Tow.
