Tonight on PBS was part 4 of a 4-part series called "China from the Inside." It was a beautiful and sometimes sad account about China. It really provided a unique view of China - the Communist Party, Rural Women, the Chinese environmental problems, and religious freedom. It was a really fascinating series that really gave me a deeper understanding of my future daughter's country and the culture that she will be coming from. Below is a description from tonight's final episode. Since it's PBS, I'm sure that they will replay them all. It is a worthwhile series to watch.
Episode 4: Freedom and Justice
Religious worship in China is problematic for Tibetan Buddhists, Catholics separated from Vatican influence, the 40 million adherents of China's unofficial churches, and the Falun Gong. Civic problems include forced evictions, government cover-up of AIDS, corruption and land grabbing. Filmed in Tibetan temples, newspaper offices and a labor camp, this final episode asks: what are the limits of freedom -- and the threats to stability?
