A documentary on air pollution in China got more than 50 million hits online in a day after it was released on Saturday.
Titled “Under the Dome”, the documentary explores the issues surrounding smog, including where it comes from, and how to deal with the problem.
After its release early Saturday on various video-sharing websites, the documentary had received over 50 million hits the same day.
“Under the Dome” was made by former China Central Television anchor Chai Jing and her friends with a budget of about 1 million yuan.
The 39-year-old mother quit her job at CCTV to start the project in 20-14, after she learned her baby had a tumor while it was still in her womb and had to have an operation after birth.
The 103-minute documentary is available on YouTube, but only in Mandarin with Chinese subtitles, as of Sunday evening.
