Guidance Comes To VOD June 17
Good Deed Entertainment will be releasing the Chinese sci-fi feature Guidance in the US (with English subtitles) next month. Humanity has just barely survived a massive war, and public leaders are now pushing for peace. The idea starts floating in their heads that the ability to lie is the root of all conflict, and to “resolve” this, an AI nanochip is invented that alters the nervous system of whoever swallows it. Once the pill is taken, the user will be able to instantly sense when anybody talking to them is fibbing. Well, you know how these stories go…but this one keeps things more personal by focusing on the problems the chip creates for one specific Chinese couple, rather than society as a whole. They have to figure out how to counteract the effects of the tech because knowing when they’re lying is kinda tearing their marriage apart. Guidance stars Sun Jia (Han Miao), Harry Song (Mai Zi Xuan) and Francesco Chen (Su Jie), and was written and directed by Neysan
