Report From Shanghai: Evicted

September 15, 2005

Note: This video requires Flash Player version 7 or above. Please update your Flash plug-in to view our enhanced content.
Millions of residents of central Shanghai have been resettled in far off districts as part of a sweeping plan to remake their city. Those who resist eviction find themselves with few legal options, and too little compensation. This is the story of a neighborhood on Fengyang Road marked for demolition, and what happened to one man who fought to stay.
