Add a CommentAn excellent documentary by Montreal director Yung Chang on how lives and families were affected by the construction of the massive Three Gorges Dam. The flow was natural, and all non-actors did well in front of the camera. One of the best docu-dramas ever done.
I really wanted to like this but it was very poorly done - views of the river incredible but that's about it.
