Mulberry Child - PBS video on Chinese women

This video was on PBS.org yesterday. It was rated very highly.

 

It’s very interesting and in part explores why this Chinese woman, like so many other Chinese women, are very emotionally cold and have difficulties in expressing emotions of affection, love or support.

 

 

“Storyline

During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, millions had their lives destroyed...their reputations ruined. Mulberry Child is the story of the persecution and survival of Jian Ping's family during this difficult period. After growing up in Socialist China, Jian must learn to assimilate to a Capitalist world when she migrates to the United States”

Well worth the watch. Thanks for posting this.

All I could get to play was the preview - "full episode" had no mechanism to start the video. I am on a Mac, if that has any relevance. The preview looked great.

It's apparently part of a series (with, for now, just one episode)

What I couldn't figure out how to do was how to "Sign in for higher quality streaming" - this is of marginal but still very watchable quality

Thanks, Randy. Your link took me to the same page, but it had a button to start the video. When I go there directly on my machine, the button never appears. Weird.

 

I felt it was an interesting program to say the least. I look forward to seeing more of the series. What night does it come on PBS?
