Summary: For much of the past 2000 years history has demonstrated that whenever an established ‘superpower’ is confronted with the challenge of a newly ascendant ‘rival’ power, almost inevitably the outcome was conflict and war. But with China’s extraordinary rise during the past 25 years the world has witnessed a newly emergent superpower; anFor much of the past 2000 years history has demonstrated that whenever an established ‘superpower’ is confronted with the challenge of a newly ascendant ‘rival’ power, almost inevitably the outcome was conflict and war. But with China’s extraordinary rise during the past 25 years the world has witnessed a newly emergent superpower; an economic colossus fully capable of challenging and even eclipsing the US in the years ahead. The fundamental questions posed in Better Angels are deceptively simple; ‘How should the US react to a newly ascendant China?’ And ‘Is it possible that the 21st Century could witness the very first time in history that two competing superpowers, each pursuing its own agenda of self-interest, might peacefully co-exist?’ Can we imagine a future in which the US & China overcome their economic rivalries, ideological challenges and cultural differences in favor of a historic accord that could underwrite an era of peace and prosperity in the wider world?… Expand

Interviewing prominent politic figures, business executives, teachers, and everyday citizens with big dreams, the documentary finds the humanity that unites all the globe. Read full review

Factoring in the flat narration by Clarke and some awfully hokey visual effects, Better Angels would have benefited from better angles. Read full review

Better Angels is a shallow analysis disconnected with the harshest realities of out time. It’s far from being malicious, but making a movie centered only on the shiny parts is too unnaturally artificial to make an impact. Read full review
