This rare 16mm color film – including original sound narration by filmmaker Fr. Bernard Hubbard – takes the audience through postwar China in 1947–1948, including rare scenes from Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Yangzhou and Chinese Catholic communities related to these cities. A Q&A session with Prof. Joseph W. Ho, the rediscoverer of this film, will follow immediately after the screening.
