  I watched this movie called "Smile" yesterday. Heres the IMDB summary.

Introduced to a volunteer opportunity with the Doctor's Gift Program, Katie (Mika Boorem) signs up for a trip to China, where she meets Lin (Yi Ding), a girl with whom she shares a birthday. Lin has a facial deformity that discourages her from ever showing her face, but her friendship with Katie helps her start to see life in a new way.

I was quite surprised at how good it was and the fact that I'd never heard of it before. I think its one of the most realistic views I've ever seen of life in China portrayed in a movie. I started watching it expecting to hate it, but it turned out to be quite good actually. Kind of like one of those low budget films that comes out of nowhere from  the Sundance film festival and ends up being unexpectedly  good.
