Natalie and Cherrie discuss the highest grossing movie ever in China's box office - Wolf Warrior 2,  a patriotic action blockbuster.

Started as a passion project by director, co-writer, co-producer and Wolf Warrior himself -Wu Jing, the movie's success came as a surprise to him and everyone else. It came at the right time. China's nationalist propaganda is becoming more and more aggressive. Through this movie, we see China's image to its own people, and China through the world's eyes.

Aside from many of its flaws and the re-enacting of the white (now Chinese) savior narrative,  we can say that it's a very entertaining movie.

Follow along in fictional Africa and see how Wolf Warrior carries China and the world on his shoulders. Let us know what you think!
