1945-1959: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice—Founding the Republic

Part two of the series China: Through Mao’s Eyes explores the formation of the People’s Republic of China, its complicated relationship with the Soviet Union, and events that prefaced the Cultural Revolution. Footage documenting the turmoil of the Anti-Rightist movement, China’s role in the Korean War, and the misnamed Great Leap Forward reveals Mao’s uneven leadership as the young nation struggled to define itself. Interviews with close associates illuminate the Chairman’s personal side, including his unusual eating habits, attire, and leisure activities. Based on Philip Short’s definitive biography Mao: A Life. Not available in French-speaking Canada. (60 minutes)
