Wang Libo began making films in 1999. His works include the multimedia drama The Wall and the political documentaries Buried (2009), Oh! The Sanxia (2013), and Entropy (2016). He currently lives in New York.

His trilogy of political documentaries engages with major disasters in modern Chinese history — the Tangshan earthquake, the Wenchuan earthquake, the Three Gorges Project, and the Cultural Revolution. Using plain yet powerful cinematic language, his films reflect on how such events came to feel inevitable within a seemingly well-functioning political system.
