Synopsis

Elly, a 28-year-old journalist from Beijing, retraces the footsteps of China's female soldiers of The Long March and encounters stories of courage and hope in the face of extreme deprivation and brutality. This is the never-been-told story of the Chinese Red Army's teenage female soldiers of The Long March--a massive military retreat of over 200,000 troops on foot over 12,500 kilometers that lasted from 1934 to 1937. Along the way, she uncovers the tragic and chilling story of the destruction of the Western Route Army, the greatest military failure of the Chinese Red Army. This episode of Long March history is largely unknown outside of China.
