The oldest civilization, reborn. China Rises

A new documentary, China Rises (along with an interactive website) was recently produced by the New York Times, Discovery Times Channel, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It is a well done, engaging program, that covers the recent and extraordinary "rise" of China. Done in four chapters that cover politics, economics, society and the environment, it gives a balanced picture of the challenges and opportunities that China faces in the coming decades. Particularly enjoying are the clips of the "various Chinas": peasant, ultra-modern metropolis, urban slums, and everything in-between. The interviews with entrepenurs, farmers, and policymakers are well done. In short, a must see program that deserves a wide audience.
