On April 3, internationally renowned Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei was detained at the Beijing Airport by government authorities and no one has heard from him since. His artwork has been displayed in galleries across the world. During the 2008 Olympics, he collaborated on the construction of Beijing National Stadium. Since his incarceration, activists across the world have rallied in support of him.

Ms. Klayman also has a feature documentary film "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry" that will be released later this year.Visit her Kickstarter here where she has raised almost $45,000 for funding post-production costs of the documentary.
