- Jackie Chan is a true icon of Asian and Chinese culture. Over a 45-year-long career, he has carved a niche for himself as an actor, stuntman, director, and screenwriter, but also singer and formidable businessman.

In the face of unprecedented scarcity, these desert valleys are in a race to conserve and innovate. Can this agricultural linchpin find a way to survive? The food security of an entire country hangs in the balance.
