Although today only about 20% of it is in its original form, the Great Wall of China remains a fabulous witness to the Empire’s history. Through three compelling documentaries we encounter the people who live within the confines of its shadows. Quite different from ordinary Chinese citizens, their history and fate are intimately linked to this timeless landmark. Rarely filmed, they are proud of their unusual and sometimes curious customs and traditions that represent the eternal China.
