The trailers below are for Turning Point, 1977 and Red Cliff II. Turning Point, set at the close of the Cultural Revolution, tells the story of a group of young people on a remote state-run farm who must fight for the right to determine their own futures.
Red Cliff II is based on historical records of “The Chronicles of the Three Kingdom”. It tells the story of an epic battle between the land of Wu and the warlord Cao Cao and his soldiers in the early third century.
