New Canadian doc Up The Yangtze offers the chance to overcome the nationali
2008-02-15 18:44:00 In a country where less than two percent of commercial cinema screen space displays its own cultural product, there is cause for celebration when a Canadian doc like Up the Yangtze has a record opening weekend. The producers of this new film about the human ramifications of large-scale industrial projects (in this case the Three Gorges Dam Project in China) recently issued a press release boasting opening weekend numbers that have broke records formerly held by Canada?s last two docbusters, The Corporation and Manufactured Landscapes. Up the Yangtze opens across Canadian theatres over the rest of February, and this gorgeously-shot film from Eye Steel Films offers more than a cinematic and political treat, it gives audiences north of the 49th the rare opportunity to prove wrong the equation put forward by the captains of cultural industry here: people are hungry for non-Hollywood film. Canada?s film history is often constructed as a tension played out between cultural nationalists a...

Regardless, these animals would have no chance of survival in the river. «We have to accept the fact, that the Baiji is functionally extinct.. It is a tragedy, a loss not only for China, but for the entire world», ...

The Majestic Yangtze River
2007-10-24 15:36:00 Situated in the heart of China, the Yangtze River is the longest in the world. The river winds almost 4000 miles through the country from west to east. The best way to discover China’s heartland is to travel along the scenic Yangtze River, passing through picturesque natural scenery and experiencing ancient Chinese history.The Yangtze starts at about 16,000 feet above sea level on the Gelandandong Mountain in the Tibetan highlands. Though melting glaciers start the Yangtze as a small trickling stream, many tributaries cause it to gain volume very quickly. At Chongqing, three larger rivers meet the Yangtze, which then flows eastward through the famous Three Gorges and fertile Sichuan Basin. Not until Yichang, a town 27 miles east of the Three Gorges Dam site, does the river widen and slow down. Hotels

Rare Dolphin Spotted in the Yangtze River
2007-09-10 17:16:00 Conservationists say a rare Baiji dolphin, considered to be nearly extinct, has been spotted in the Yangtze River.The World Wildlife Fund said the discovery means there is still time to take action to protect the species.A photograph of the animal was taken Aug. 19 in Tongling City in east China's Anhui Province, the group said Friday in a release. The image was confirmed by a leading scientist in Baiji study at the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Science.The WWF said the species was considered "functionally extinct.""This sighting presents a last hope that the Baiji may not go the way of the dodo bird," Karen Baragona, the WWF's Yangtze River Basin Program said. "Other species have been brought back from the brink of extinction, like the southern right whale and white rhinos, but only through the most intensive conservation efforts."
