The Revolutionary – the Sidney Rittenberg Documentary

Posted: March 15th, 2013 | 1 Comment »

Like most China Hands of a certain vintage I’ve heard Sidney Rittenberg speak several times and of course knew his autobiography, The Man Who Stayed Behind. Now there is a documentary about his life (I’m going to assume resaders of this blog know who Rittenberg is, but if you don’t then click here) – The Revolutionary. Apparently, so I hear from people who’ve seen screenings, it is excellent and I guess screenings and showings will be cropping up all over, hopefully also in China.

The producers have also done a great website to go with the documentary with a lot of information and sources on it…watch out for screenings I guess or DVDs available at the web site.
