Epic Movie on the Chinese Revolution!

Hi all,

Very excited about the Chinese government producing a massive epic of the story of the Chinese Revolution. It will be released in September this year and they have already started filming. Hopefully this can be deconstructed as a major resource for the Unit 4 course in Revolutions. We will no doubt watch the movie given time and if its released in Melbourne then we will maybe organise an excursion to the movies en-mass!
