Wukan: China’s Democracy Experiment – Episode 4

The fourth episode starts with Chinese New Year celebrations and hopes for a fresh beginning in Wukan. It is not long before another committee member resigns in frustration. The Chief refuses to give up on the village and democracy when he discovers some extraordinary news about the borders of Wukan and the stolen land. One year after the election, the first piece of land is returned but when the villagers arrive to inspect the land their joy quickly turns to anger. Roadblocks, a police stand off and protests against the Village Committee bring the series and this first year of democracy in a Chinese village to a fiery end.
