In recent decades, as China has grown into a giant of the international economy, it has become a crucial source of revenue for the American film industry. Hollywood studios are now bending over backward to make movies that will appeal to China's citizens - and gain approval from severe Communist Party censors. In Red Carpet, Schwartzel explores this phenomenon and its consequences.
