“In the olympic year so many films about China are flooding over the TV‐screens that one gets the impression television wants to present every single one of the 1,3 billion Chinese personally to us. But most western filmmakers fail in their intent to show their own view on the distant and exotic culture of a country like China. An outstanding exception make Arne Birkenstock and Jürgen Kura with their documentary series “7000 kilometers from Home”. Because they show China through the impartial eyes of four german teenagers who are brave enough to spent one year in the distant country. Thanks to the young protagonists, “7000 kilometers from Home” gives us a fresh and impartial picture of modern China and covers many different aspects of it. A documentary series very well done.”
