Il était une fois en Chine
7.2
A la fin du XIXe siècle à Fa Shan, en Chine du Sud. Tandis que les puissances coloniales européennes et américaines s'y affrontent pour le contrôle du commerce maritime, les premiers signes d'occidentalisation commencent à percer dans la société chinoise. Dans ce climat politique tendu, Wong Fei-hung, docteur en médecine chinoise, maître de kung-fu et chef instructeur de l'armée du Dragon noir, est chargé par le commandant Lau de maintenir l'ordre durant les guerres qui éloignent ses troupes de la région, afin de sauvegarder ce qui reste de paix et de stabilité.

Passage

With a unique blend of dramatic action and behind-the-scenes documentary footage, filmmaker John Walker shares the multi-layered story of British explorer Sir John Franklin and his crew of 128 men, who perished in the Arctic ice during an ill-fated attempt to discover the Northwest Passage, and John Rae, the Scottish doctor who in 1851, discovered their dismal fate. Rae's dark report, which described the crew’s madness and cannibalism, did not sit well with Sir John's widow, Lady Franklin, nor with many others in British society, including Charles Dickens. They waged a bitter public campaign to discredit Rae's version of events and mark an entire nation of northern Inuit with the label of murderous cannibals. A stunning face-to-face meeting between the great-great grandson of Charles Dickens and Tagak Curley, an honoured Inuit statesman who challenges the fraudulent history, vaults the story from the past into the present and we are witness to history in the making.
