YOUNG & RESTLESS IN CHINA is being released in April 2008 in NYC, LA and Pasadena. If the film does well in the theatres currently booked, there is potential for a wider release, but in order to make that happen we need to encourage people to attend these first releases. We hope that you will spread the word about this documentary to your colleagues and community by:
· Posting a link to the film website and trailer on your website (we will provide you with the art and the link)
· Sending an email (which we could craft) to your listserv about the film

Please email info@ambrica.com if you are interested in getting involved with this effort or have any questions.

Film Synopsis
In 2004, Ambrica began filming nine Chinese Gen X’ers at home and at work, returning once a year to record the changes in their lives. The film tracks four wildly ambitious graduates, a media savvy hip hop artist, two migrant workers living precariously on society’s edge, a dedicated medical resident and a courageous environmental activist.

YOUNG & RESTLESS IN CHINA is buoyed by a driving sound track of Chinese rock and hip-hop music and scenes of Chinese life rarely seen in the West. As we watch these young people work, hang out with family and friends, sing karaoke or launch their first business, we come to know them in a rare, intimate way. Their stories of ambition, exuberance, crime and corruption are interwoven with moments of love, heartbreak and passion. In riveting emotional detail, YOUNG & RESTLESS IN CHINA captures the highs and lows of coming of age that are at times intimately familiar and also decidedly new.
