The Road

For three decades the world has witnessed China's fast economic development. In 2008 the Chinese government issued a $586 billion plan to try to minimize the impact of the global financial crisis on the world's second largest economy. The aim was to invest in infrastructure and social welfare throughout China. Chinese director Zhang Zambo managed to get unique access to the implementation of the financial plan. For three years the director filmed the making of a section of a highway through a quiet village in Hunan, a province in central China where Chairman Mao was born. The result is a rare insight to the impact the plan has had on a local community.
