HONG KONG: DOCUMENTARY FILM ON CHINESE TELEVISION
1.
CHANNEL 8 OF CENTRAL CHINESE TELEVISION BROADCAST A SHORT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT HONG KONG AT 9:15 AM ON 12 JANUARY.
IT WAS A FILM OF ABOUT 20 MINUTES MADE IN NOVEMBER 1981 BY THE QINGDAO FILM COMPANY. WE ARE NOT SURE WHETHER THEY ARE
A MAINLAND OR A HONG KONG COMPANY. THE RELATIVELY SOPHISTICATED STANDARD SUGGESTED THAT THEY MAY BE FROM HONG KONG.
2=
THE FILM ITSELF WAS FACTUAL AND RELATIVELY UNCONTENTIOUS AND DID NOT SEEK TO MAKE PROPAGANWA POINTS. IT MAY BE A FILM WITH WHICH YOU ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR., BUT WE DO HAVE
A VIDEO TAPE OF IT A COPY OF WHICH WE COULD EASILY SEND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT.
