Documentary on China’s environment nominated for an Oscar
Warriors of Qiugang, the excellent short documentary on China’s environment that I blogged about earlier this month, has been nominated for an Oscar. As I mentioned in my previous post, this film is required viewing if you want to understand at a visceral level how local citizens are fighting to save the environment in China. If you have not seen it yet, the 39-minute film is available in full at the Yale e360 site. Sam Geall at China Dialogue has a nice article about the film as well. Congratulations to Ruby Yang and Tom Lennon!
