Trailer for Painted Veil

Set along a tributary of the Yangtse – I knew I’d been there before.  The peaks along the gorges were magnificent.  It is a beautiful story, which observes the growth of young love, based on  a developing  understanding and appreciation of strong character and humanity.

1920s China was still a primitive frontier world – superstition, catholic missionaries, British colonialisation, disease, cholera, and the threat of political upheavals!

It was not considered a place for a woman – but from this experience the flippant society girl developed into a thoughtful and caring young woman.  From tragedy grew personal strength.

Highly recommended!
