Documentary fever has caught on in China, and China Education TV's latest program caters for the new groupies. Clear View will feature, all year round, a selection of 200 documentaries bought from the Public Broadcasting System in the United States.
PBS is known for its hard-hitting documentaries on social issues.
In the last few years, documentaries have enjoyed growing popularity in China, with national broadcaster CCTV launching an all-documentary channel in 2011. Several documentaries produced since then have aired to rave reviews, including CCTV's tome on food, A Bite of China.
