China from the Inside

China from the Inside delivers an intimate, insider portrait of a nation in transition—unseen facets of China, its institutions and its people, normally hidden from outsiders. At a pivotal moment in history, China is wealthier and more powerful than ever, yet the friction between market‑driven policies and the Communist political agenda shapes daily life for many citizens. The series presents a spectrum of voices—from the powerful to the powerless, scholars to laypeople, supporters and critics—without flinching from the country’s contradictions. Dramatic scenes capture both breathtaking landscapes and the country’s most polluted vistas. Across four compelling hours, the program explores a 1.3‑billion‑strong society undergoing astonishing growth while confronting daunting obstacles.
