Title: China Then & Now!
Review: I caught this documentary about 1 year ago on PBS and was immediately riveted to the TV. As an adoptive parent of a Chinese daughter, I was deeply touched by the story of a developing China and the personal impact on its society. Having spent time in China, we were constantly reminded about the major gap between the utter poor and those with wealth. This video is expertly done and gives a phenomenal picture of the struggles of a poor peasant family coming to grips with a developing nation. Nothing sugar coated here. Watching the family dynamics play out as the family makes the difficult decision to send their daughter off to work is facinating. I would highly recommend this video to anybody interested in the human toll that the Three Gorges Dam and "development" has inflicted on this society. We will continue to watch this video and someday share it with our daughter who may come to realize how lucky she is.
