IMDb Picks: Spotlight on April's Art-House Releases5 of 7
Born in China
Despite the advances of technology and global diplomacy that have bridged the divides among nations, China remains, for too many, an enigmatic and comparatively little understood part of the world. This title, the first such Chinese-made feature documentary for the Disneynature label, will undoubtedly delight viewers predisposed to a universal appreciation for nature and wildlife, in addition to helping demystify a country that is home to undeniably glorious species. Veteran director Chuan Lu sets his focus on a panda bear and her cub, a pair of sibling golden monkeys, and a heroic mother snow leopard. This, you can be sure, makes for essential Earth Day viewing. — Bret
