Mao’s Great Famine | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Source: @SLICE_Full_Doc

Here is a summary of the key points from the video:

04:57 After the Communist takeover in 1949, Mao launched a program of rapid industrialization and collectivization of agriculture known as the Great Leap Forward.

09:50 The Great Leap Forward became a disastrous failure, causing an unprecedented famine that killed an estimated 36-55 million people between 1958-1962.

19:35 The famine was caused by Mao’s radical policies, including the formation of massive agricultural communes, unrealistic production quotas, and the confiscation of food from peasants to pay debts to the Soviet Union.

29:38 The Chinese government covered up the scale of the famine for decades, and Mao refused to acknowledge or address the crisis, even ordering increased grain procurement as millions starved.

39:40 To this day, the Chinese Communist Party maintains a “deafening silence” on the Great Famine, refusing to fully acknowledge or commemorate this tragic episode in Chinese history.
