Up the Yangtze
”An astonishing documentary of culture clash and the erasure of history amid China’s economic miracle.” — Stephen Holden, NY Times. Chinese Canadian Yung Chang’s documentary observes life on the soon-to-be-flooded banks of the Yangtze from aboard a cruise ship taking English-speaking tourists up the river. We meet a representative handful of the people whose lives are being the most deeply effected, and we become especially well-acquainted with two of the ship’s young restaurant workers: a woman from a dirt-poor family whose shack close to the river will very soon be drowned, and the brash son of a middle-class family. — BG
