:: documentary, canadian, about the economic impact of the 3 gorges dam project in china
:: although i'm rather happy and proud that a 30 year old, chinese canadian from ottawa made it big in the doc world (i.e. the film did really well at sundance this year), i didn't find the film innovative. i thought the film lacked innovation in: cinematography, story development, and editing. but really, i thought the story of economically disadvantaged people (although tragic) was played out in the same manner it's been played out for decades and i find this approach simple.
:: so glad for the director, go canada go! but not inspired by the film, sorry.
