The Land of Many Palaces
Co-directors Song Ting and Adam Smith

We all hear of how fast China is rapidly changing from a rural country to one that lives, works, and plays in cities. This brilliant documentary, wrapped in a questioning yet never critical tone, shows that trend in action, following elderly villagers who are lured from their ramshackle farm houses to high-rise apartments and providing thoughtful insight from the government workers who bring them there.
