english China (2006) - 1x02 - Women of the Country
 
Plot Outline

One woman in China kills herself every four minutes.

With the highest female suicide rate in the world, China's women talk candidly about the pressures on them, particularly those left to tend homes and look after children in rural areas while husbands and sons are working towards the "economic miracle" in the cities.

Film makers follow a migrant couple returning for a visit to their village home... and the children they have not seen for a year.

They also explore the plight of unwanted baby girls, the discrimination suffered by Xinjiang's Muslim women, and the younger generation of women who are taking control of their lives in search of an education, a career and a love marriage.
