China is avidly wooing filmmakers to create more documentaries to replace popular dating, reality and game shows.

In this Friday, Aug. 8, 2014 photo, a sheep herder looks over sheep near a state-of-the-art power plant that turns millions of tons of coal every year into methane in northern China's Inner Mongolia province. Deep in the hilly grasslands of remote Inner Mongolia, twin smoke stacks rise more than 200 feet into the sky, their steam and sulfur billowing over herds of sheep and cattle. Both day and night, the rumble of this power plant echoes across the ancient steppe, and its acrid stench travels dozens of miles away. (AP Photo/Jack Chang)
