China is undergoing one of the most dramatic social, economic and cultural upheavals in it’s very long-history.  Though still ostensibly a totalitarian state, China’s visual artists are at liberty to comment on these changes in their work, within certain ill-defined parameters. These are young artists born after Mao’s “Cultural Revolution”. Tonight on Inquiry, we speak with ROBERT ADANTO, Executive Producer and Director of the documentary THE RISING TIDE. In this exciting and thought-provoking film, contemporary Chinese artists talk about their work, what they think of “western” critics, and their complex views of Chinese consumer culture. Could these artists be the vanguard of the next Renaissance? Tune in tonight and find out what happens when totalitarianism meets unbridled capitalism.  Robert's website is: http://therisingtidefilm.com/v2/index.php?pageref=director
