Up the Yangtze

In China, it is simply known as 'The River'. But the Yangtze (and all of the life that surrounds it), is undergoing a truly astonishing transformation wrought by the largest hydroelectric project in history. Canadian documentary-maker Yung Chang returns to the gorgeous (rapidly disappearing) landscape of his grandfather's youth to trace a farewell cruise that traverses the gigantic waterway.
