Up the Yangtze

A luxury cruise boat motors up the Yangtze -- navigating the mythic waterway known in China simply as "The River."

The Yangtze is about to be transformed by the biggest hydroelectric dam in history. At the river's edge, a young woman says goodbye to her family as the floodwaters rise towards their small homestead. The Three Gorges Dam -- contested symbol of the Chinese economic miracle -- provides the epic backdrop for Up the Yangtze, a dramatic feature documentary on life inside modern China.
