The documentary that won an Emmy Awards soon after its release was written by Theodore H. White, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist.
Despite being an award winning documentary, the movie “History of China” was followed by tons of controversies. For starters, there were rumors that CIA was involved in the making of the movie.
In any case, the documentary was released in 1967, and follows the history of China, the communist Empire, its rise and fall. The documentary starts from the Boxer Rebellion of the Qing Dynasty and spans events through the Cultural Revolution. All in all, there are 170 years of history of the biggest country in the world.
