The Other Half of the Sky (2016), directed by Patrik Soergel, profiles four of the country’s most influential businesswomen—Yang Lan (media mogul), Dong Mingzhu (manufacturing titan), Zhang Lan (luxury dining tycoon), and Zhou Yi (tech executive).

From the austerity of the Cultural Revolution to the modern economic boom, their journeys tell the story of a nation in transformation.
