It is also one of television's most acclaimed series, having won every major television award, most of them many times over. Premiered March 1974.

Efforts to control the population explosion are among the burning controversies of our time. NOVA looks at the one-child policy of the People's Republic of China, a revolutionary decree with profound implications for a people accustomed to traditionally large families.
