During this seminar, Michael Wood will discuss his latest documentary “How China Got Rich”, which takes viewers on a journey through the fast-paced development of the Chinese economy. Over the past four decades, China has transformed into a major economic player and become a driver of global capitalism. This transformation has lifted people out of poverty on an unprecedented scale. Alongside clips of “How China Got Rich,” this seminar will provide a riveting discussion of the extraordinary scale of China’s economic transformation from the lens of an award-winning filmmaker.
Michael Wood is a historian and producer of many acclaimed documentary films, including “The Story of India” and “The Story of China.” He leverages his decades of experience as a historian and broadcaster to bring history to life for audiences around the globe. He is also the author of best-selling books on English history including “In Search of the Dark Ages” and “Domesday.” Wood serves as Manchester University’s Professor of Public History.
This seminar will be followed by a drinks reception.
