"A luxury cruise boat motors up the Yangtze - navigating the mythic  
waterway known in China simply as "The River." The Yangtze is about  
to be transformed by the biggest hydroelectric dam in history. At the  
river's edge - a young woman says goodbye to her family as the  
floodwaters rise towards their small homestead. The Three Gorges Dam  
- contested symbol of the Chinese economic miracle - provides the  
epic backdrop for Up the Yangtze, a dramatic feature documentary on  
life inside modern China. " Excerpt written by National Film Board of  
Canada
