Opening Date: October 3, 2001

The ancient glorious art of Beijing Opera becomes a dangerous new game of politics versus tradition when the Cultural Revolution sweeps through China.  For an established Opera star, whose life plays out on stage, and his young female protégé, caught up in the Revolution, the game has stunning consequences.  Majestically beautiful and chillingly truthful, RED will stay with you forever.
