Movie to contain anti-graft message

A movie based on a corruption case in the 1950s has begun filming as China seeks to raise awareness of corruption amid a sweeping anti-graft campaign. The movie is based on the story of Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan, two senior Party officials who were among the country's earliest examples of modern corruption. Both were executed in 1952. Movie director Shen Yue said he hopes the 2016 film can serve as a warning to members of the Communist Party of China.
