Link to China, a century of revolution documentary
Documentary Description
CHINA: A CENTURY OF REVOLUTION is a six-hour tour de force journey
through the country’s most tumultuous period. First televised on PBS,
this award-winning documentary series presents an astonishingly candid
view of a once-secret nation with rare archival footage, insightful
historical commentary and stunning eyewitness accounts from citizens who
struggled through China’s most decisive century. CHINA IN REVOLUTION
charts the country’s most violent era where decades of civil war and
foreign invasions led to the bloody battle for power between Mao Zedong
and Chiang Kai-shek. THE MAO YEARS examines the turbulent era of Mao’s
attempts to forge a “new China” from the war-ravaged and
poverty-stricken nation. Mao’s death begins BORN UNDER THE RED FLAG,
which follows the country’s new leadership of Deng Xiaoping and its
unlikely transformation into an extraordinary hybrid of
communist-centralized politics with an ever-expanding free market
economy. Monumental in scope, CHINA: A CENTURY OF REVOLUTION is critical
viewing for anyone interested in this increasingly powerful and
globally influential country.
