It’s been more than a century since the sinking of the Titanic, and soon a documentary on six Chinese passengers aboard will be released globally. 

The film is called 'The Six' and was released in China in April. The Chinese passengers survived only to be turned away by the U.S. due to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. 

The famous story of that ill-fated ocean liner also is inspiring an ambitious project in China.
