   "Blind Shaft"

   Folks interested in Orwell's "gonzo"-type journalism --   
   living poor, visiting dangerous coal mines, and so on --   
   might be interested in the film, "Blind Shaft," made in   
   China but apparently available for viewing only in the West.   
   See .   
      
   I've read a description in the magazine *Giant Robot* (site   
   is  but I think online material   
   doesn't include this article) suggesting that the maker of   
   "Blind Shaft" took considerably greater risks than Orwell   
   did, spending weeks underground in dangerous conditions and   
   having to make the film behind the backs of the authorities.
