What happens

The New China, also rendered in English as Liberated China (Russian: Освобождённый Китай, romanized: Osvobozhdyonnyy Kitay), is a 1950 Soviet documentary film directed by Sergei Gerasimov. It was entered into the 1951 Cannes Film Festival, but was excluded from selection as a purely political propaganda film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
