"The Blue Defensive Line," the first documentary about Chinese armed forces on a peacekeeping mission in an overseas war zone, hit the big screen across China September 18.

The documentary features a Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalion protecting local refugee camps in war-torn South Sudan. The film, shot over five years from China to Africa, is a true and vivid account of efforts made by Chinese "blue helmets" to safeguard world peace and development.
