This sympathetic documentary profile of modern China (the first shot in the People’s Republic of China by a North American television crew) was made by filmmakers associated with the acclaimed CBC current-affairs series This Hour Has Seven Days. In addition to interviews with Chinese officials, it also features some extraordinary sequences depicting a young Chinese family and life on a commune.
