My People, My Country (2019)

i initally watched this because i was looking for a doctumentary style movie to educate myself on the history of China and their achievements throughout the years, and this movie did not disappoint at all.

the movie contains 7 short stories detailing the lives of chinese individuals who live throughout various momentous periods in Chinese history. although some may argue that this film is just Chinese propoganda, i'd argue back by saying 'so what?', it's just a film made by people who want to show their love for China and their patriotic feelings - there's nothing wrong with that.
all the stories were very moving and at some points made me emotional seeing how much people will do for their homeland, furthermore they all stood out for me and were interesting and distinct enough to the point that they didn't drag on.

the production value is very high and the movie ends with a beautiful ost called '我和我的祖国' (my motherland and me) sung by Chinese people themselves with lyrics that detail citizens and their love for China.

Inspirational, well rendered stories to lift the spirit

This is a simply beautiful and moving series of stories all eloquently told.

Of struggle, humility, love, sacrifice and of course JOY!

I teared up many times and would recommend to others for instant reconnection to what it means to be human, across all our differences and the various ways we come to be instilled with national pride and hope for humanity

Stories we hardly get to see in the west and all from the point of view of the little woman, man and child of China. Long live 🤛
