China 21
2002, English. Directed by Ruby Yang.
How are ordinary people adapting to China's transformation - market economies, globalization, small families? Using compact digital video gear filmmakers Ruby Yang and Lambert Yam track four Chinese families as they step into the 21st century. Opting for the personal over the abstract, China 21 introduces lively and appealing people who would be lost in a bigger picture.
