Inside Mao’s China: The unique personal stories of our protagonists combined with rare historical footage will give a new perspective on one of the 20th century's most controversial utopia. Inside Mao’s China tells for the first time about this period of recent Chinese history from the perspective of the small number of Western eyewitnesses, who were there at the time. These witnesses of history, cultures and political systems are among the few who have experienced the Cultural Revolution from the inside and are able to share their experiences without fear. Nevertheless, until now they had preferred to remain silent.

Thank you for your efforts to have taken so many photos and video and disclosed them.

That was really, really good. This doc, less than 60 minutes, is the most deeply & fully comprehensive I've ever seen on the subject.

Thanks for the documentary. More people should see it.

"Mao showed us a very rare case in which cruelty, selfishness, hypocrisy and shamelessness were all found in the same person. Although he always tried to cover his actions with the most beautiful words, I don’t think he ever had any moral principles. Never, _ever,_ will I forgive Mao for the crimes he committed against the Chinese nation." ―Ding Xueliang, professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

A cruel period of no dignity, no humanity, no grace but only chaos, violence and humiliation. One of the darkest time in human's history. I was a witness in China.

The terrifying thing is that many of those who perpetrated this awful philosophy were able to justify their actions as being morally right. If you believe you're in the right, nothing is off the table, no matter how cruel, vicious, sadistic and evil - it won't feel that way at the time.

The ideological blindness, innocence of youth, gullibility, and naivete of some of the interviewees show it all. This is the price of being so idealistic over something you didnt actually understand when youre young. My 2 uncles were survivors of both Mao's catastrophic plans. They escaped in 1970, one the worst years of Cultural Revolution. They were wandering several countries from 1973-1979 before settling in Singapore. Up to this day, everytime they encountered people, mostly youngsters, who hold pro-communist/leftist views, they immediately chimed them up with direct perspective of living under the worst of communist system, Mao's China. It could still happen today as many idealistic youngsters, feeling so self-righteous, self-declared socialists, self-declared anti capitalists, never trully live under such an oppressive system. Socialism and communism are for the gullibles and the naives, that is the youngsters

Also the red guards were mostly born in 40s to 50s at that time meaning those people are still mostly alive, though they would be 70-ish years old. And a lot of those old people that lived through the era or actually were red guards were demoralized. Absolutely crazy and unimaginable. The economy and education stalled for 10 years, culture and moral values were destroyed.

“People don’t have ideologies. Ideologies have people.” Poor Paul. His parents were in prison and they still believed in Mao: perhaps the most evil human being to have ever lived.

Fabulous documentary. Very interesting hearing from the immigrant perspective. Well made. Thank you for making it free!

Thoroughly enjoyable..

The Great Leap Forward and the destruction of millions. A madman and a people living in a nightmare.

Another excellent episode. Thankyou.

excellent episode waiting for more good content

This is a good documentary.

I have no idea why many people in the West were so fascinated and followed the ideology of Mao! his philosophy was one of supreme narcissism and self-protection. One of his well-publicized statements to prove this is the following: "Whatever I am most afraid of someone doing to me, I will do it to him first."

Great documentary

Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is following this informative content cheers Frank 😊

When was this production made?

When you're on "the right side of history", no atrocity is unjustifiable.

If anyone knows LeBron James here, please forward this video to him.

That was excellent. Thank you

The entire country was insane. Now this country is on the way to that state again.

Vraiment bien. Un excellent documentaire.

That woman left her baby behind to visit Maos China? Great parenting 👍

Wow this is interesting

The typical mistake, giving absolute power to one actor. No matter if its communist, fascist, left or right, capitalist or socialist. The so called communist regime have in some cases been absolutely antithetical to marxism, and in other cases mostly. See North Korea, an autocratic, racist, ultranationalistic absolute monarchy (well actually necrocracy) that says its democracy. Sometimes people say things that are not true, that may surprise some. No matter what Kim says, North Korea has nothing to do with democracy or marxism.

Some people never learn.

People like the French lady should be the last folks trying to figure out the best society worry about fixing your own life lady.

Shiny happy people holding hands.

这部纪录片的很多镜头我真的是第一次看到。尤其是那个王爷府的走廊，上面都贴着大字报。

America is following uncomfortably close to following a similar pattern. Instead of Mao it's Identity politics

Sad that their are still people who idolize Mao

So this is one of the examples of what Dr, Jose Rizal meant about "Young people are the hope of our country."

History is repeating itself now…

You have to wonder if all these young tankies around now ever watch history shows like this.

I was looking at The Little Red Book recently... now there is a "new era" with their President. 🇨🇳

PTCBMF Studios CEO was here

Those Westerners were fooled by Mao and CCP.

God, I remember the horror of this !! It was a mass murdering travesty. That awful Little Red Book and the wholesale destruction of Chinese culture. How could anyone in their right mind lionize Mao at that time, or ever ?

the reality is that, peaceful outside but chaotic inside.

0:05 Did the narrator really say "kung fu revolution"? Lol.

China? Oh, sorry; I thought I was watching modern day, covid Australia!

Great history about Mao's China. Thanks for sharing.

This documentary solidified my assertion of communism being a religion.

Thank the stars my family migrated to the U.S. 😅😊🎉❤

I have a learn English book from the era the lessons are so interesting, with many folk you can tell in the psyche it was a heavy time

Got a feeling that some of these former maoists still have some form of infinity judging by the way they speak about it and their almost proud expression.

Cult of personality, emotionally-aroused mobs, anti-authority, anti-education ------------ why does that sound familiar?

Had it not been for youtube suttile , I would have thought Mao declares Kong-fu revolution...

Thaiwan similar contrasting (alt) documentary, SAME PERIOD side by side- revealing?

Thank you for sharing the truth Mao period. For sure it was only for ideology ..from URSS and reinforce his own power ...nothing so much about citizens

Man, people were dumb AF back then. - reads contemporary news... - sees 'woke' Twitter threads... Ah.... right.........

Wow, Chinese history as told by a few Germans and Americans. Interesting, but maybe next time get the perspective of someone who’s actually Chinese, that might help.

Is it though?

Individual liberty is the only natural state of being. It’s not perfect and not everyone wins…but that’s reality. You cannot corral people into a utopia, many have tried and millions have died…only to say “that was not the right way to do it, my way will succeed!”. Sorry…wrong. I was born in the eastern bloc and seen it first hand.

Long time ago, I have met with a couple who had experienced the craziness of that era.

I grew up in the cultural revolution in China, it was crazy time 😂😅. I m writing my memoir.

28:34 We now know it was Kissinger, not Nixon, who met with Mao first.

This is certainly a very good documentary on the cultural revolution. I do find it to be a little eurocentric in view though. That being said it's a great documentary and reminds me of when I read the book series on Mao's China by Frank Dikötter, which I found to be a extremely human look at how life was like then.

i can see why my late father hated this man to bits.

When the narrator mentioned prolatarian revolution I thought of 1984, I am now very excited for this video.

I find the pictures about famine it uses is the famine video in republic of China under qiang Kashi

应配中英双语字幕，这么好的视频要让更多人看懂。

Ahhhh starvation, the good ol times

🌍🙏

crazy stuff 🤦

Current president of China, Xi Jinping was also victimised during this period

这是一场人为的灾难，责任只在于毛，也在于所有积极参与的人。 今天，在中国，类似的运动正在形成。 我替我的国家感到悲哀。

it's odd that this documentary illustrates the viewpoint of European people living in China at the time. I'm only halfway through. Maybe there will be a shift in focus.

I lived it. It was hell on earth.

The "success" of Stalin - the man who used to boast about having conducted the U.S.S.R. "from the plow to the atomic bomb in just a generation" - compared to Gorbachev's failure shows that a socialist economy is unable to function with a minimum of efficiency without requiring a massive dose of political violence. In an attempt to reform a decadent regime, Gorbachev moved faster with the process of economic opening in the hope of removing the predictable resistance that the Soviet bureaucracy would create to economic reform measures, as thorough proof with the failed attempt. coup d'état in August 1991 - which ended up precipitating the final crisis of socialism and the dissolution of the USSR itself Its Chinese parallel - Deng Xiaoping - adopted a logic diametrically opposed to that of Gorbachev: it prioritized the achievement of economic prosperity (adopting in practice capitalism) precisely to delay any attempt at political opening, as was evident with the acceleration of the economy. reforms after the Tiananmen Square massacre. It is important to note that it was Karl Marx himself who, in his Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, discerned the scenario in which the conditions for a social revolution process are formed, describing it as follows: “At a certain stage in its development, the material productive forces of society contradict existing production relations or - which is only their legal expression - with the property relations in which they have been active until then. From the forms of development of the productive forces, these relations are transformed into fetters of them. So, it is a time of social revolution. ' * By rejecting the pursuit of profit maximization as an instrument to stimulate innovation, socialist countries ended up condemning themselves to obsolescence. Thus, they lost the chance to incorporate the productivity gains made possible by technological progress. That is why the capitalist countries managed to provide a greater rise in the standard of living of their population, even without pursuing the egalitarian ideal. Therefore, until the “final crisis of socialism” (to paraphrase K. Marx's own definitions once again), it was only a matter of time. But religious fanatics do not give up on their faith, even against the indisputable proof of the facts, which completely refute it! * Reproduced according to MARX, K.

I love the people acting like Mao wasn't always a psychopath. If you read about his youth and his rise you will find he was always a narcissist bent on power, who abused and discarded women once they were no longer convenient to him, and had no "friend" he would not betray or murder to further his own power. Mao was never a sincere or good man with "fair" beliefs as some of the dolts in this video claim. He was always, ALWAYS a murderous psychopath.

Idk why she wishes she looked different, she was full of beauty back in her early adulthood and she still had all that beauty at the time of this video's production.😮

This is needed today 😂

If you go carryin' pictures of Chairman Mao- you ain't gonna make it with anyone, anyhow.- John Lennon 🚬😎

Now I've heard everything....."Maoist Groupies". European Commies are weird.

Moa Zadong didn't believe in brushing his teeth. His teeth was apparently green.

University professors kove this guy for some reason. Its truly terrifying.

it seems the more left of politics we get we seem to lose our sense of right from wrong.

Leaving your child behind to go on an "adventure?" .......right. ok boomer.

The brightest light bulbs in the room.

My parents and all of our relatives were deported out of china because of that mass killer.

China, a great and crazy nation where the people are super smart and super crazy. I cannot understand them even though I was one of them.

This mirrors the new PC culture. History does repeat indeed

1,500,000 deaths?

🆒

Mao and Stalin were too closely linked. I still don’t understand why Mao had to fallow Stalin that closely into a great leap forwards.

Left her infant daughter to go worship Mao...she needs more helicopter rides in her life being able to smirk at that.

The blind leading the blind.

People see what they want to see!

Interesting that no Chinese people from that time were interviewed.

The woke revolution that is occurring in the West has many similarities to Mao's cultural revolution.

And MILLIONS DIED. SO CHARMING

And now Xi wants to be the new Mao. He even has his own little book of his "thoughts". How depressing.

Society will never be humane, because there are some who want to be leaders. They may start with good ideals, but then money and power become a priority. I think that the best thing is to give opportunities to everyone so that they can manage and build their destine according to their potentials. As we think of a global community, I am reminded of the movie, The Hunger Games. God bless.

45 million people died due famine under his rule.
