Description:
For 25 years Mao Zedong ruled one quarter of the world's population. This is the extraordinary story of a farmer's son who became a God in his life time but in private never shook off his peasant roots; a man who presided over one of the most radical experiments in social reform ever seen in human history but who will be remembered as one of the bloodiest dictators of the twentieth century. This program--told through the accounts of those who have met and studied him, loved and loathed him--includes archive film and pictures going back to the very earliest days of Mao's life, as well as unique film of China at the turn of the century and during key episodes in Mao's communist revolution. It includes harrowing and eye-witness accounts of such momentous events as the cultural revolution, the Great Leap Forward and the most severe man-made famine ever recorded.

It is tremendously difficult to describe the life of such a world political giant in 50 minutes. Yet this video spend 10% of the time telling stories of Mao's affair with some anonymous girls while many much more important historical events and persons were not even mentioned. The writer counted correctly how many times he married, but failed to say anything about his children.
In summary, this documentary tries to cover both his political life and personal life, but end up getting ... Read More

Just as Red China's history and culture remains a mystery to most in the West, so does Mao Tse-Tung stand as little more than a footnote to world history - a great big footnote, of course, but one little studied and even less understood than most by Westerners. Some may only know him as the grandfatherly fellow who met with President Nixon in 1972. Mao was and is one of the most significant leaders in modern world history, a monster and a genius who made China a world power while bringing about ... Read More

Apart from some interesting early 20th century footage, this video is just a waste of time. Commentaries are superficial and obvious, useless for those who know a little more than Mao existence. Producers lost the wonderful oportunity in the interviews with outstanding sinologist Roderick McFarquhar, and dissident journalist Liu Binyan, who were asked mostly for well known anecdotaries that cannot explain the role Mao played in modern China.
The story jumps suddenly from the Greart Leapt ... Read More

I loved this video with its emphasis on the personality of Chairman Mao and his early experiences. His childhood and young adulthood are viewed as determinants of his attitude toward intellectuals, the university, city dwellers and the peasantry. Mao was revealed as the man. A word of caution to the use of this video in a classroom or as the only source of information on Mao's life. Only in passing does this video explain the Cultural Revolution and the decentralization of industry into small scale ... Read More

A&E Bibliography captures the essence of Mao's life and the chinese people of his time. This video provides insight into China's communist government and the peoples reaction to it by interviews with chinese students, peasants, and former goverment officals all who knew Mao. The bibliography of Mao Tse Tung gives a living history that is a must see.
