To coincide with the start of the Beijing Olympics the day after the showing, Reel Savannah Film Group invites you to a premiere of this summer's most talked-about documentary, Up the Yangtze.

At the river's edge - a young woman says goodbye to her family as the floodwaters rise towards their small homestead. The Three Gorges Dam - contested symbol of the Chinese economic miracle - provides the epic backdrop for Up the Yangtze, a dramatic feature documentary on life inside modern China. Winner of San Francisco, Vancouver, and several other documentary festivals. In English and Mandarin, with English subtitles. 93 minutes.
