Timewatch The Boxer Rebellion
Series editor John Farren writes:
We all enjoyed watching modern China stage the Olympics, and it was clearly important to their government to impress the world. This film examines a turning point in China's relationship with the West. While it may have vanished from the pages of our history books, it's a lesson every Chinese child knows.

Timewatch exclusively reveals the dramatic true story behind the Boxer Rebellion of 1900, when Imperial troops and Chinese rebels laid siege to the diplomatic quarter in Beijing. Told through Chinese sources and the diaries and memoirs of the outnumbered European defenders, the siege helped to bring down the imperial monarchy, precipitating a century of destruction, revolution and ultimate renewal.
