As part of the Gallery's 2017 programme of events on the theme The Artist as Witness: Migrations watch this award-winning documentary by Chinese-Canadian director Yung Chan. At the edge of the Yangtze River, young men and women, whose homes on the banks of the river are threatened by the encroaching floodwater caused by the building of the Three Gorges Dam, take up employment on a cruise ship, where they confront rising waters and a radically changing China.
