Snow melt and runoff converge off the Tibetan Plateau creating some of the world's largest river corridors. These rivers support millions of people and countless ecosystems. China's rivers are the lifeblood of this world's booming economy, but their ecological health and their ability to sustain the communities that depend on them has never been in more danger then now. Currently undergoing the largest construction project since they built The Great Wall in 220 B.C., China is now home to the largest hydroelectric project on earth. Due to over population and over consumption, the Chinese government is choosing to harness the power of these mighty rivers at the expense of losing some of the world's most unique regions. These projects have forced over 10 million people from their homes and land, many of whom are still suffering the impacts of displacement. And now the third largest river in the world, the Yangtze River is home to the construction of over 13 large dams.

Vital Films presents the story about the last experience of the Yangtze River before it is completely underwater and transformed into reservoirs. Come on a journey with a group of kayakers and explorers as they make the final decent down the Yangtze River and experience it for one last time Facing East.
