Filmmaker Yung Chang will screen and discuss his first feature-length documentary, the critically acclaimed, award-winning Up the Yangtze (2007). The film documents the moving and richly detailed narrative of a peasant family forced to negotiate the historic changes brought on by the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, the world’s largest hydroelectric mega-dam and China’s biggest engineering endeavor since the Great Wall.
