Earlier this month,
a documentary called Under the Dome garnered more than 100 million views in
less than 48 hours (available on YouTube with English
subtitles). It was financed by Chai
Jing, a former China Central Television journalist and put the long-debated
issue of air pollution in China in the spotlight again.
The documentary is
a combination of scientific lectures, descriptions of an investigation she
conducted, and the personal story of Ms. Chai and her daughter. Considering the
Chinese government’s strict censorship laws, many were surprised that this
documentary was not blocked since it is somewhat critical of the government.
