SPECIAL EVENT! "China in the Red"

The Council on East Asian Studies presents a special screening of the documentary film "China in the Red" and a panel disscussion with the Producer/Director Sue Williams.

Film will be shown at 6:30 PM and a panel discussion with Sue Williams will follow. Deborah Davis (Sociology) and James Tweedie (Crossing Borders Program, Yale Center for International and Area Studies) will also participate in the panel discussion.
----------------------------------
"China in the Red" was shot by Sue Williams over four years, from 1998 to 2001. The documentary examines the changing values and expectations of ten individuals as they struggle to adapt to China's economic reforms. In intimate portraits, the film shows a cross section of Chinese society: young and old, rural and urban, workers and peasants - from the manager at a failing factory to the mayor of a major city, from a millionaire entrepreneur to a peasant dying for lack of medical care.
