Movie Haiku:Fly-on-the-Wall doc about Chinese kids--mostly boys--whose parents force them into military-style treatment centers in hopes of curing them of "Internet Addition" (which is defined in China as a clinical disorder). The subject is fascinating & timely, but the choice to approach all this with no context or commentary is a grave mistake. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH
