Movie propaganda

War made them orphans, one man made them legends.

Based on real events, Children of the Silk Road (The children of Huang Shi) is a sweeping but intimate story set against war-torn China in the 1930s. The film centres on a young English journalist (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers), an American nurse (Radha Mitchell) and the leader of a Chinese partisan group (Chow Yun Fat) who meet in desperate and unexpected circumstances. Together they rescue 60-orphaned, children leading them on an extraordinary journey, across hundreds of miles of treacherous terrain, through snow-covered mountains and an unforgiving desert. Along the way they discover the true meaning of love, responsibility and courage.
