My sister recommended me to watch this documentary about a democratic election that happened in a third grade class in Wuhan, China. Democratic election in China? Vote? Yes, it happened amongst eight year olds and they were merely voting for a class monitor, but still, it introduced a concept that has not been practiced with Chinese leaders for ages!
If you are as intrigued about the people of China as I am, this movie will do it for you. I think a documentary on a primary school classroom election would be interesting already, but this happens in China for the very first (documented) time. If you aren’t getting how interesting this movie is by now, you’ll probably have a more enjoyable time watching (dont’ kill me) Eclipse! 
Spoiler..your eyes might water up a bit!
You can find it on youtube (5 parts):
or Netflix:

Interesting. And sad. And gross how that kid’s mom told him to put his pajamas on over his pee-stained underwear (eww).
