{television} china from the inside (2006)

Get an unprecedented look inside the history, contemporary life and political realities of China with this fascinating PBS documentary. As China's global power grows, much of its culture remains veiled from the rest of the world -- and conflicts between economic policies and the Communist agenda have grown. The four episodes include "Power and the People," "Women of the Country," "Shifting Nature" and "Freedom and Justice."

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** This was an interesting look at a country filled with so many differences. "Women of the Country" was certainly the most disturbing, dealing with the state's influence on the birth of children in China and the people's backwards views on women's rights. The episode "Shifting Nature" was just sad as they examined pollution in China.
