'Search for the Manchus' in today's China

This film is directed by Evan Luchkow, a Canadian who ties the 300-years history and culture of the Manchus people with today’s northeast China. Much of northeast China has transformed into an industrial zone, but in some remote villages, the ancient Manchus culture continues to thrive.

In a documentary format, Luchkow travels through Changchun, Jilin Province and later to a small remote village on the Songhua River. He interviewed an elderly man who trained eagles and another elderly woman who’s a teacher and hobbyist of Manchu paper-cutting.

The film is most effective, when the narrator stays silent and allows the people interviewed to talk and tell the tale of their lives.
