Hello,

The Discovery Times Channel has an new series called China Rising. I haven't been able to watch it yet , but tivoed quite a few episodes.

Here are some that looked interesting:

China Rising: "Party Games" 2006 Documentary about how Beijing is preparting for the 2008 Olympic Summer Games.

China Rising: "Getting Rich" 2006 Documentary about the impacts of China's rapid economic growth on the country's poor.

"A Decent Factory" documentary that follows a manufactorer who sends ethical advisors to inspect conditions at a cell phone factory in China.

"Secrets of the Great Wall" 1999 Documentary about the Great Wall during the Qin and Han dynasties.

I will try to watch them this week and share my thoughts. Would love to hear what others thought of them as well.

Looking forward to meeting fellow study tour participants in a few weeks-Dana
