Description:
Filmmaker Carma Hinton (George Mason University) grew up in China as the daughter of a famous American scholar. Using her unique insight into two cultures, American and Chinese, she?s produced thirteen documentary films about China for a Western audience. She tries to show the complexity of China, a nation that she sees as neither wholly evil nor wholly good, but on a difficult path to becoming a powerful and democratic state.
