Chinese Dreams (2019)

Together with his camera, Dutch photographer Ruben Terlou criss-crosses China. The four episodes of this series focus on the dreams of the Chinese people, dreams about the future of their country, love, their children. Watching them shows how fast China has been developing under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, and how those developments affect the lives of the Chinese people. But also that dreams sometimes just don't come true. Chinese Dreams paints - especially in the times of trade wars and increasing distrust towards China - another surprisingly human picture of this often misunderstood world power.
