In Guangdong Yangchun, a large number of villagers have been suffering from strokes and cancers after some dangerous heavy metal waste has been illegally discharged in the villages. Not only have the local government failed to take action against the law breakers, but they have also covered up the pollution with lime to prevent the higher department of environmental protection from investigating and collecting evidence. During this time, the villagers who have reported the pollution have been secretly punished and thrown to prison. Artist Nut Brother decides to take action. With his team, he creates a group of Heavy Metal music and plays at sites that have been polluted by heavy metals to raise awareness among the population. Not surprisingly, the local government that has uncovered Nut's plan tries to stop the show. “Can art have some political power and change the world? We think that a quote could be placed here to answer these questions in a way: "A man may fail, but ideas are bulletproof". Gu Li and Cai Yuqi
