Darkness Over China
"These are newsreel shots taken in China, with emphasis on the Great Cultural Revolution. The forces that are creating hatred against the Soviet Union are brought to light. Was China to follow the precepts of Marx and Lenin, or the precepts of Maoism? Even though the Soviet Union and other Socialist countries aided China in building up its economy for the first ten years of its existence as a socialist state, all this is forgotten in the tumultuous turmoil created by Mao." Red China, Communist, Communism, Mao-Tse-Tung. A fascinating documentary/propaganda piece from a different perspective. Shedding a different light.
