| Summary: | Story of the wartime mission to the Chinese Communists in their headquarters, made in 1944 by OSS, but suppressed and never shown. Shot by OSS operatives behind enemy lines in wartime China, this story of the visit to Chinese Communist headquarters was edited by John Ford, but deemed too politically sensitive to be released. Documentary on the OSS visit to communist headquarters in Japanese-occupied China during World War II that shows Communist activities in fascinating detail. Features Mao Tze-Dung, Cho En-lai, among other Chinese leaders. This is a unique historical document. This documentary was suppressed by the OSS, and released only decades later, in conjunction with President Nixon's break- through visit to China. |
