Description
Summary:Unique personal stories combined with rare historical footage give a new perspective on Mao Zedong's utopia. At the height of Maoism, China was as closed off as present-day North Korea. As China eased out of its age of isolation in the early 1970s, Westerners equipped with government-regulated narratives began to romanticize the new government. Only a small group of Westerners who grew up and lived inside Mao's China witnessed first-hand the upheaval of the Cultural Revolution. Until now they had preferred to remain silent, but armed with a new outlook on life they are committed to sharing their experiences without fear.
