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—symbol of the Chinese economic miracle—provides the epic backdrop for this documentary on life in modern China. Official Selection Sundance Film Festival.
