World Premiere of WAKING THE GREEN TIGER at VIFF
a film about the rise of a green movement in China
Directed by Gary Marcuse, produced by Betsy Carson and narrated by David Hewlett.
Face to Face Media is proud to announce the World Premiere of Waking the Green Tiger, a feature documentary about the rise of a green movement in China by Vancouver director Gary Marcuse (previously at VIFF : ARKTIKA: the Russian Dream that Failed and Nuclear Dynamite) and producer Betsy Carson (FIX: The Story of an Addicted City, A Place Called Chiapas and Surviving Progress).
Seen through the eyes of activists, farmers, and journalists Waking the Green Tiger follows an extraordinary, campaign to stop a huge dam project on the upper Yangtze river in southwestern China. Featuring astonishing archival footage never seen outside China, and interviews with a government insider and witnesses, the documentary also tells the history of Chairman Mao’s campaigns to conquer nature in the name of progress.
An environmental movement takes root when a new environmental law is passed and for the first time in China’s history, ordinary citizens have the democratic right to speak out and take part in government decisions. Activists test their freedom and save a river. The movement they trigger has the potential to transform China.
