Synopsis

Along the banks of the Yangtze River, small towns face dramatic changes due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. Set to be completed in 2008, the dam is the largest hydraulic project in the world. Some towns have already been abandoned, while others continue to thrive. The film presents the environmental and social consequences of the dam's reservoir filling with water. Personal stories and vivid imagery illustrate the conflict between development and preservation in this rapidly transforming region.
