Rebeka Goes To China. An American Girl in Guangzhou
Several years after Rebeka Goes Down The Slide, filmmaker Lucy Kostelanetz re-films Rebeka at the age of nine to get a testimony of the greatest experience of her life up to that point: her year living in China.
When Rebeka's parents are assigned to teach English at Guangzhou University, Rebeka, age seven, begins living on campus and attending an all Chinese School.
But a year later, her stay in Guangzhou comes to an abrupt end due to the Chinese government's fears of student protests in 1989. Through the point of view of a nine-year-old girl, Rebeka narrates this memorable life experience to all of us.
