"Voices from the Frontline: China's War on Poverty", a documentary film produced by CGTN and the Kuhn Foundation, premiered on PBS SoCal in U.S. on July 31, 2019. It was the first time a U.S. mainstream media organization broadcast a special, in-depth TV program on China's poverty alleviation. Presenting the Chinese concepts of "targeted poverty alleviation" and explaining the "five methods" to overseas audiences, the documentary is the first in China to examine the poverty alleviation from a foreign perspective and to record the entire process of a third-party assessment of poverty alleviation.
