China Review Studio Presents UK-China Documentary Telling Stories of Chinese Scientists Competing in the "Olympics of Science"
BEIJIING, Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

A new science documentary Future Fantastic: China's Science Revolution directed 
by British director Christopher Riley was recently broadcast on Discovery 
Networks Asia-Pacific and Youku, one of the largest video platforms in China. 
The documentary was featured on Nature.com and Nature magazine. First day 
online, it is already the most popular documentary on the Chinese platform. 
 
The documentary features cutting-edge technological achievements, from Chinese 
Lunar Exploration Program, the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, SMILE 
Project, to the Jiaolong submersible and the Zuchongzhi Quantum Computer. It 
has also profiled the stories of top Chinese scientists and engineers who are 
working at the top of their chosen fields in medicine, genetics, robotics, 
cosmology and planetary science. Chinese scientists advancing in the field of 
science like Olympic athletes, spending decades pushing the limits and 
exploring into the unknown. Not only have they achieved impressive results in 
their own fields, they have also become the innovative messengers connecting 
China and the world.

To ensure the authenticity to the greatest extent, the film crew followed the 
scientists to the fields, to the laboratory, to the underground cave, and to 
the deep sea. Director Christopher Riley said: "I hope you feel very proud of 
what the Chinese scientists and engineers that we feature in the series have 
accomplished and how curious and driven they are to push the frontiers of human 
knowledge as far as possible in their lifetimes. In the short time I spent with 
them, I felt really inspired by their determination to follow their dreams and 
I hope, in watching this new series about them, you will too."

This documentary is presented by China Review Studio and co-produced by 
Crosswalk Films. Director Christopher Riley is a BAFTA and Emmy nominated 
British science writer and documentary filmmaker specializing in science, 
engineering, and history. He is also a member of the Royal Astronomical 
Society. He conceived and co-produced the Sundance-winning Ron Howard 
documentary In the Shadow of the Moon.

The documentary will also be broadcast internationally on Etisalat, Films Media 
Group, Slovenia Pro Plus, and JMU Radio Televizija Srbije, etc.
