PBS airs poverty alleviation film in US
LOS ANGELES - Hosted and written by Robert Lawrence Kuhn of the Kuhn Foundation, and helmed by award-winning director Peter Getzels, Voices From the Frontline: China's War on Poverty premiered on the Public Broadcasting Service on July 31.
Airing on SoCal, the Los Angeles-based PBS flagship station which reaches 19 million viewers across Southern California, the documentary gives Western audiences a rare glimpse into the internal workings of China's poverty alleviation efforts, one of the nation's most important government-led initiatives.
"The documentary provides a textured and intimate portrayal of China's anti-poverty campaign by following six cases that highlight the poverty alleviation strategy," the Kuhn Foundation said in a statement.
