As a supplement to their unit on Chinese history and culture, the 6th grade students of Julia Morgan screened this autobiographical story of a nine-year-old girl in Beijing during the Cultural Revolution, followed by a discussion with the filmmaker. “Thank you again for arranging our viewing of The Monkey Kid. The girls enjoyed seeing the film, and many of the girls who are able to conceptualize and critically think about the Cultural Revolution got a lot out of seeing a visual representation of the period.”—teacher, Julia Morgan School for Girls
