How it feels

This documentary follows students at a top middle school in Chongqing, China, as they are trained for success in the global economy. The children are from the new Chinese middle class, and their parents, who lived through hardship, expect them to achieve what they could not. The film asks whether these young people are a threat or a promise to the world.
