Recently however, environmental docs seem to be making it through the censors’ filtering system, perhaps because the authorities are starting to recognise China’s worsening pollution problems and attempting, at times, to address the issue.

Wang Jiuliang’s film Beijing Beseiged by Waste is one such example. Read more here about Jiuliang’s fight against pollution. >>
