Chongqing gets little attention outside China despite being, by some measures, the fastest-growing city on the planet, absorbing roughly 1,300 new residents every day as its economy expands at a pace Western cities have never matched. Filmed on location between February and June of 2013, the documentary moves through the municipality's construction sites, factories, and crowded streets to show what that growth actually looks like on the ground: new towers rising over the Yangtze and Jialing rivers, rural migrants arriving in search of work, and a metropolitan area whose population and boundaries dwarf better-known Chinese cities like Shanghai or Beijing. Interviews and observational footage build a picture of a city that functions as a test case for China's urbanization strategy, absorbing millions of new arrivals while trying to keep infrastructure and housing ahead of demand. The film treats Chongqing as an introduction rather than an argument, laying out the scale of the transformation and leaving the implications, for China and for the rest of the world, open.
