People Mountain People Sea (film)

People Mountain People Sea (人山人海, Rén shān rén hǎi) is a 2011 Chinese film directed by Cai Shangjun.

It was selected for the main competition at the 68th Venice International Film Festival.

In the domestic (censored) version, Xiao Qiang was caught by the police (he escaped from a medical clinic after being beaten) while the other miners were all rescued by the police following the explosion.

This version ends with police officers instructing Tie to obey the laws.

In the international version, Xiao Qiang was bludgeoned to death underground by fellow miners, and the other miners (except for the boy) all died in the final explosion.
