Screening as part of their Earth in Crisis tour showcasing a series of Chinese eco-documentary films foregrounding the growing ecological emergency facing our planet.

Oh, The Sanxia studies the completion of China’s Three Gorges Dam, for which some of China’s most prominent political figures past and present are taken to task for rushing through. The result being long-term ecological damage causing widespread elimination of local economies and wildlife.
