Synopsis:: In the largest engineering project since the Great Wall, China has set out to harness the power of the Yangtze, an endevour that provides the epic and unsettling backdrop for a dramatic and disquieting film on life inside the Chinese dream. Stunningly photographed and beautifully composed, Up the Yangtze juxtaposes the poignant and sharply observed details of Yu Shui's story against the monumental and ominous forces at work all around her. Western passengers take in the spectral views, consuming entertainment on the spacious upper decks, while Yu Shui Toils in the gallery down below, preparing with the other workers for an uncertain future as all around her the waterscontinue to rise.
