How is #China governed from the ground up? What does political #leadership look like far from Beijing?
In this 80-minute #documentary, I am joined by six Western experts on a rare journey across China to meet the unsung heroes driving rural #development, resolving disputes, and dreaming under the stars.
From a remote Yi village in #Sichuan, to an ancient porcelain town in #Jiangxi, and an unearthly windswept city in #Qinghai, we take a firsthand look at the mechanics, challenges, and human faces of #grassroots #governance in China.
This is one trip you don’t want to miss!
