Go into the heart of a country that's experiencing the most remarkable transformation in the history of the planet, as the oldest civilization on earth becomes the world's dominant superpower. China will host the world at the 2008 Olympics, and is already affecting almost every country on the globe.

The combined forces of some of the finest journalistic and documentary filmmakers in the world from CBC Television, The New York Times and Europe got unparalleled access to the people of modern China. This series was two years in the making, in partnership with networks in Germany, France and the United States.

It starts with compelling personal stories of real men and women - those who have profited from China's monumental change, and the ones left behind.

China Rises, April 11, 2006
Review By:Jake Prosper

The program is excellent. To my experience showed a balanced perspective of the challenges China faces. China is so complex, and this film addresses most of the core issues with context through the personal interviews and great visuals.
It quotes some core statistics, wish it gave more.
Small note on editing for TV format: the english translation sometimes go off the edge of the screen.
Note my first visit to China was 1988, and recently lived for 15 months in the Shanghai area, got to know many local people well and was able to travel a bit in China.

Review By:Xianda Shi

China Rises is a spectacular documentary that depicts a series of issues in modern China. Despite China’s superficial economic prosperity, the depressive perspectives of china such as, government corruption, environmental destruction and unequal wealth distribution are also being revealed in the program. Although many Chinese people may think our native country is developed now, the reality is that this minority prosperity is accomplished through the suffering of millions of other. I would like to purchase the DVD for my family and hope that on the DVD it could have Chinese subtitles or the original Chinese would be greatly appreciated. I would like to thank all the staff at CBC that composed this documentary.
