Up The Yangtze (pun intended) is a powerful documentary that follows two workers on a luxury cruise boat as it motors up the Yangtze.

The 2006 river cruise in the film is a so-called "farewell tour" of the Yangtze River, before the area was irreversibly changed by flooding from the Three Gorges dam.

Here's an interview with the filmmaker:

I highly recommend the Up the Yangtze, it speaks to a difficult subject through the personal journeys of the main characters. The filmmaker deftly shows that hope and humour survive in the bleakest of situations.
