The Cultural Revolution

The film contains footage of both city and Peasant Chinese during the Cultural Revolution beginning 1966. Gives some background to the movement and compares Mao’s comment that it was 70% good and 30% bad with a current Chinese assessment that it was a 10 year reversal of the Chinese socialist cause.
