Frontline Documentaries about China

Jesus in China ,Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 8 p.m. on KCPT
A wave of Christianity is sweeping across China and the country's Communist Party leadership is racing to control it. FRONTLINE/World travels from rural villages to urban centers to go deep inside this underground movement. http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/china_705/

Other Frontline Documentaries on China

I really enjoyed the documentary "Young and Restless in China" that aired last week on our local public tv stations. You can watch the entire program and explore much more related material at the Frontline website:

Frontline also produced another much more indepth documentary in 2001 called "China in the Red" . It is also available online and explores topics like "Facing the State Sector's Crisis", "Scrambling to Survive", "Fear and Optimism in the Countryside", "The New Generation", "Corruption Crisis" and more. You can view it and learn more here:

Not familiar with Frontline?

Since 1983, FRONTLINE has served as American public television's flagship public affairs series. Hailed upon its debut on PBS as "the last best hope for broadcast documentaries," FRONTLINE's stature over 25 seasons is reaffirmed each week through incisive documentaries covering the scope and complexity of the human experience. Visit their website here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/

As far as I am concerned, it's the only reason to watch TV.
