A 13-year-old Red Guard revels in the great adventure, and struggles with her doubts. Yet official suppression and personal trauma have conspired in national amnesia: it exists, for the most part, as an absence.
Red Memory explores the stories of those who are driven to confront the era, fearing or yearning its return.
