"In recent years, people are increasingly aware that if there is a geopolitical breakthrough in the 21st century, it must be China's rise," said Malcolm Clarke, a two-time Academy Award winner for Best Short Documentary and the director of The Kind Angel. This time, he aimed his lens at China and the United States.

The Kind Angel is scheduled to premiere during the G20 summit in September. "China is everywhere," as Malcolm Clarke observed, so exterior shots were taken all over the world. He had hoped to complete the film in one year, but the production turned out to be a three-year exploration.

In fact, there have been a lot of China-themed documentaries and television programs in the past few years alone, which explore China from different perspectives. The South Korean producer Park Jinbum graduated from Tsinghua University with a deep understanding of China, and made a documentary entitled Super China to tell the story of China in geographical, economic, cultural and political dimensions. After his documentary was broadcast on KBS, it received high ratings and quickly became popular on the Internet.

Some films take a bird's-eye view of China. The US National Geographic Channel participated in the filming of China from Above. When it was released in 2015, many viewers said the documentary was so beautiful that they cried while watching it. From the Great Wall to the Leshan Giant Buddha, from the coast to the northern frontier, this documentary, comprised mostly of aerial shots, shows both a traditional and modern China.

Pilots' Eye, also an award-winning documentary, was shot from the cockpit of a Swiss Air flight. It is attracting large audiences, with beautiful scenes from Zurich to Shanghai.

Chinese New Year: The Biggest Celebration on Earth, aired on the BBC during this year's Spring Festival holiday, and reflects the Spring Festival customs in different places of China through beautiful images.
