2009 / NRFrom China’s wild west to Beijing’s boom, photography and filmmaking duo Jeff and Peter Hutchens capture china in its moment of change.
Seasons & Episode
Peter and Jeff revisit the cold, Communist city of their youth: Harbin. What they find is a vibrant commercial city that has come to embrace its icy heritage. The brothers will also embrace the ice (quite literally) as they swim in icy waters, make an ice sculpture, race down an ice slide and drink in a bar made of ice.
Peter and Jeff visit the Chinese province of Yunnan. Yunnan is province with largest diversity in all of China, with 25 different minorities. To learn about these different minorities, the brothers visit the National Ethnic Minorities Park and soon discover that to really understand the cultures of these people, they will need to visit them in their native villages.
Peter and Jeff visit with the Buddhist monks of China. In Ganzu, they will be the first westerners to film inside the yellow hat Tibetan monks' temple before visiting the red hat and Ban sects. In Yunnan, Pete and Jeff visit the rainforest and temples of the Dai Buddhists. They finish their journey at a graceful and explosive Dai ceremony.
