Storyline[]

China is arguably the most interesting and dynamic country in the world today. As the Chinese race towards the millennium and full scale capitalism, this highly personal documentary by Peter Kaufman (narrated by his father Phil Kaufman) provides a superb, up-to-theminute portrait of many colorful, paradoxical manifestations of China's new spirit its "Wild East" energy echoing our own "Wild West" turbulence and century ago. Through interviews with former Red Guards and their victims - in most cases personal friends of Kaufman - the terrible years of the Cultural Revolution are evoked as a permanent backdrop to today's parade of billionaires, hookers, disco dancers, and everyday entrepreneurs.
