2. China revs up / written by Chris Schmidt & Joel Olicker ; produced and<br />
directed by Chris Schmidt.<br />
<strong>Part</strong> 1, edited by Sarah Holt; part 2, edited by David Carnochan.<br />
Narrated by Oliver Platt.<br />
A two-part documentary discussing the imbalance in present global demographic<br />
trends, human ecology, economic development and environmental impacts. Includes<br />
selected archival footage, and comments from international experts on human<br />
geography, climatology and the environment.<br />
<strong>Part</strong> 1 examines the demographies of India, Japan and Sub-Saharan Africa; and<br />
compares them with others. Illustrates the world careening in two very different<br />
directions, with 'youthful' developing nations reeling from rapid growth, while<br />
many 'old' industrial ones grapple with declining numbers. Challenges the world<br />
to mobilise human skills, incomes and wealth to help shift the imbalance onto a<br />
path of shared prosperity, in a world of shared environmental sustainability.<br />
<strong>Part</strong> 2 showcases China as the fastest growing economy in world history, with a<br />
large middle class reaching out for the good life, with the motor-car on the<br />
list of 'must-haves'. There is concern that as China becomes increasingly<br />
affluent, it will over-take the U.S. to become the world's worst polluter,<br />
resulting in an environmental nightmare.<br />

This documentary examines the implications of China's 'one child' policy, which<br />
was introduced as a measure to stabilise China's burgeoning population, twenty-<br />
five years ago. It has now resulted in over 500,000 abortions, and in many more<br />
girls being killed once they have been born. Examines the underlying issues,<br />
from the increase of professional women in China who have rejected their<br />
traditional role, to the overwhelming lack of women in the provinces. Looks also<br />
at the associated reasons for the three-fold jump in the crime rate of the<br />
country, in the last 20 years. The police are presently struggling with loutish<br />
behaviour, gangs and the disappearance (or abduction) of young women.<br />
