Wednesday Film Series: Up the Yangtze
WHEN: Wednesday, September 23 7:00 pm
WHERE: Greene County Library, 222Main St., Stanardsville, VA
UP THE YANGTZE: Directed and written by Yung Chang (2007)
. 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.
Sponsored by the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library
