Join us for a look at China, as told by the Chinese--a history of their nation through every level of society--a picture never before seen by outsiders. Crafted over five years, our series represents an unique collaboration between filmmakers, the Needham Institute at Cambridge University, and the Chines Academy of Sciences. In this episode, we see how China tries to feed 20% of the world's population from just 7% of the globe's available arable land. China's landscape is the most engineered in the world; so, is the Three Gorges Dam an unnecessary fiasco, or is it a key part of a master plan to feeding China's millions in the future?

But modern life, and the one-child policy, have put these fundamental values under great strain.
