I just finished watching this documentary, made underground in China, and playing now on HBO. It does a good job of showing the practice and enforcement of the One Child Policy. It also shows the criminal element from the perspective of parents whose five year old was kidnapped, a former police officer who works to investigate and sometimes rescue kidnap victims, and a trafficker who sells both a three month old girl and one year old boy for parents who cannot afford the fines to keep them.

Last week LB and I went to see Kung Fu Panda at the theater. It was cute. The hero is a panda raised by a goose. The villain is a snow leopard raised by a brown panda (LB had to explain what he was; I'd never seen one before). The story is very similar to the Monkey King, at least in the travel companions and the scroll. I won't say more-don't want to give it away. |
