REVOLUTION IS NOT A DINNER PARTY is the heartbreaking story of a child surviving historical atrocities. It shows the sweeping and brutal impact of Mao’s totalitarian regime during the Cultural Revolution through the eyes of the young characters Ling and Niu, and how their friendship is tested in this time of upheaval. The series is grand and moving, and small, modest and close to the skin at the same time. Revolution is not a Dinner Party is based on the beautifully written, largely autobiographical, book by Ying Compestine: 'Revolution is not a Dinner Party'Development with the support of the Creative Europe MEDIA Programme of the European Union
