And the Oscar went to…

Last night, Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” took home the Oscar for Best Feature Documentary, while the Documentary Short award went to Chinese American filmmaker Ruby Yang for “Blood of the Yingzhou District”.
The latter follows a 4-year-old Chinese AIDS orphan (also carrier of the virus) who is taken in by his eldest uncle after the death of his parents. The film reveals how traditional obligations of kinship collide with the terror of the disease, and how these forces play out in the boy’s search for a family to call his own.
