What do Beijingers reckon about the Olympics?

How have the Olympics affected Beijingers? Jocelyn Ford, a Beijing-based journalist, has put together the insider's view in the form of a video series; this is the promo for it.

She interviews a human rights activist who is in hiding; the engineers of some of the Olympic trophy buildings; a Tibetan single mother who's no longer allowed to sell trinkets on Beijing streets; a farmer deprived of water in order to meet Bejing's pledge of a "green" Olympics.

Thanks to China Digital Times for the link.
