UP THE YANGTZE
(Canada/2008—directed by Yung Chang)

In China it's known simply as “The River.” But the Yangtze – and all the life that surrounds it – is undergoing a transformation wrought by the largest hydroelectric project in history: the Three Gorges Dam. Chinese-Canadian director Yung Chang returns to the stunning, quickly-disappearing landscape of his grandfather’s youth to trace the surreal experience of a lavish “farewell cruise” – packed with well-to-do American and European tourists – as it traverses the gargantuan waterway. Overflowing with wit and deeply perceptive humanism, Chang captures a decisive moment in modern history in what The New York Times called “An astonishing documentary of culture clash and the erasure of history.” (93 min.)

Part Four:
A Better World

An episode of the rarely seen Fraggle Rock (1983) contrasts three communities: the musical Fraggles, the industrious Doozers, and the giant Gorgs, who all co-exist in a carefully balanced underground world—with those mysterious human creatures who live above ground. The Song of the Cloud Forest (1989) is a beautiful evocation of the rainforest that focuses on the story of a golden toad who must avoid the “uprights” trying to catch him. (90 min.)
