An astonishing documentary of culture clash and the erasure of history amid China's economic miracle. The film explores the incalculable human impact of the giant Three Gorges Dam project on the Yangtze, China's longest river. When completed, the 600-foot-high dam will be the largest hydroelectric project in the world. As we watch the steadily rising water swallow more and more of the landscape, the film conveys an ominous sense of a society changing too fast in its stampede into an unknown future. A collaboration with P.O.V. PBS' award-winning nonfiction film series. more info
