When I first heard the name of this movie I thought it was synonymous with the phrase “up the wazoo” – but no my friends, the Yangtze is a river, and this documentary explores the environmental changes its been undergoing, and how this effects not only China, but the rest of our world. This movie was an official selection of Sundance Film Festival, and is at the very least a beautiful display of cinematography. It is now playing at Laemmle Theatres around Los Angeles County.For more info go to: http://www.laemmle.com/
