"The Story of Chieftain," a 2019 Chinese film, is based on the true story of Ang Deng Bang, a chieftain of an ethnic minority tribe in the 1930s who became a fugitive from the Chinese government. Ang Deng Bang led his tribe in resistance after local officials levied taxes following an earthquake in 1933. He later joined the Red Army, becoming the first ethnic minority leader to lead the revolution in modern China, according to IMDb.
