This week on Shanghaiist Sunday Show, we turn on our eye to the refugee issue and bring you not just one but two documentaries. The first documentary is a show on Al Jazeera's 101 East which features Tibetan refugees trying to get out of China and the second one is a show on North Korean refugees trying to come into China.
Shanghaiist Sunday Show: Tibet Refugees on Al-Jazeera
Shanghaiist Sunday Show: Children of Blessing
From the makers of The Unseen China, Jiang Xueqin and Brian Keeley, comes another documentary, Children of Blessing. While we are not totally fans of the way the directors have framed their story (and we won't spoilt the show for you or impose our opinion on you, watch it for yourselves and share with us what you think in the comment section!), this is still a stellar production, and we'd like to share it as our Christmas present to you. Give yourself some time to load up the vids, kick back and watch this show that will open your eyes to another China you've never seen.
Shanghaiist Sunday Show: Brits get rich in China!
It's Sunday! Kick back with Shanghaiist with this light-hearted Survivor-type documentary on three British businessmen looking for their big break in China: cushion manufacturer Tony Caldeira, ex-colonel Peter Williams who's looking to sell his energy-saving device to the Chinese, and controversial kitchen retailer Vance Miller who has built a huge business by undercutting everyone else and selling cheap Chinese kitchens in the UK. These three characters will remind you of people you have met in China. And watch out for Vance Miller. He is our hero.
