The Children of Huang Shi
Based on a True Story
In 1930s war-torn China, a young English journalist (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers), an American nurse (Radha Mitchell) and the leader of a Chinese partisan group (Chow Yun-Fat) meet in desperate and unexpected circumstances.
Together they rescue 60 orphaned children, leading them on an extraordinary journey across hundreds of miles of treacherous terrain, through snow-covered mountains and an unforgiving desert. Along the way they discover the true meaning of love, responsibility and courage.

Children of Huang Shi - Northerner2
It is a good movie; the characters played their parts very well and made it very believable. I am not usually one for historical movies but this one was good and very emotional; The fact that it was based on a true story made it all that much more emotional and the part at the end when they had the real people talk was good.a must see! - suntep
So much literature and film is devoted to the German front and really the west sees little, and knows little of what was happening on the Eastern front. I truly hope that will change in the future! This movie is worthy of the same attention of a Schindlers list, or Ann Frank, but? I'm just so thankful I got to see it, I hope you will as well!Watch this - orange
When I picked this movie, it was an extra. I went by the star ratings of other members. I never heard of it before. So I didn't know what to expect, but it was a very good movie. I have been recommending it to everyone I see. It's a very well told story.
