China & the Forbidden City

This Peabody and Christopher Award-winning educational film takes the entire family where no Westerner has gone before - inside Peking, a city of opulence, grandeur, charm and above all, mystery. For 500 years the city walls kept Peking closed off from the entire world, allowing only its rulers and their faithful servants admittance into its sacred halls. Now, go inside the forbidden palaces and explore the pristine streets of the fabled city with filmmaker and journalist Lucy Jarvis in this fascinating kid-friendly documentary.
