One disastrous result of the Cultural Revolution is the destruction of the legal system. This movie made in the early era of reform depicted the painfully slow process of to re-establish China as a country ruled by law, not the personal will of party bosses via the experience of the accused person. The title of the movie is therefore: The Accused. Many of the topics the movie touched have yet to be accomplished today.
