Shanghai’s professional class enjoys a hip, affluent lifestyle—but a shocking number of the city’s residents live in poverty. This program explores the widening divide between China’s educated, cosmopolitan wealthy and those citizens who feel increasingly disenfranchised by capitalist development. Profiling an up-and-coming film director and a successful fashion designer, the episode also follows the stories of three women left destitute by government eviction policies. Viewers will gain insight into Shanghai’s ambitious city planning, steered by “socialism with Chinese characteristics”—as well as long-standing family traditions in danger of disappearing in 21st-century China. A Discovery Channel Production. (Portions in Chinese with English subtitles, 45 minutes)
