耿彥波，大同前市長，大膽地試圖將昔日文化名城的光輝帶回這殘舊不堪、經濟癱瘓的土地。可惜，上級的一紙調令，古城丟空，六年的努力白費，更遺下百億債務及種種爛攤子。導演周浩用一年多的時間，跟着耿彥波的日常工作，用攝影機記錄下他每日勤精厲治，從政府內部機密會議到官僚的問題，從深入民眾到跟進工程的進度，事事都親力親為。這套記錄片在辛丹斯電影節激起不少熱話，一洗西方國家對中國的負面形象。年青導演周浩和製片人趙琦希望通記錄片呈現出中國人生活最真實的一面，讓更多外國人了解到中國普通人的生活。

Known ignominiously as “the most polluted city in China,” Datong has seen better days. The former capital of Imperial China suffers from a faltering economy and poor infrastructure – but not for long, if Mayor Geng Yanbo has his way. Geng’s plan is to restore Datong’s cultural landmarks and build tourist-friendly attractions, and he’ll accomplish his goal even if it means displacing a half-million of the city’s residents. Given seemingly limitless access, director Zhou Hao follows the tireless government official nicknamed “Demolition Geng” as he clashes daily with corrupt bureaucracy, rightfully upset constituents and even his own wife. The result is a fascinating and mesmerizing portrait of a people in change and the man who would make it happen.
