INDePth Talk Series
In partnership with the New Silk Road, INDePth 2013 will be hosting a screening of Up the Yangtze, a 2007 documentary film directed by Chinese-Canadian director Yung Chang. The film focuses on people affected by the building of the Three Gorges Dam, a gargantuan and hotly contested symbol of the Chinese economic miracle. It’s depiction of peasants and migrant workers provides us with a powerful glimpse into life in 21st century China.
Professor Bart Testa from the Cinema Studies Institute and Professor John Stowe will each be sharing their thoughts about the film and the issues it raises beforehand.
This screening is part of a series of events leading up to the 2013 INDePth Conference, a student organized initiative that will address development issues in China. For more information on INDePth, please visit www.indepthconference.com
