Levine to film a group of young Americans touring China in defiance of US Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' travel ban. Arriving in Beijing after a 9 day 6,000 mile trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway, he convinced the Chinese Foreign Ministry to permit him to air express his uncensored films via Moscow to NBC in New York, where they were featured on the Today Show & The Chet Huntley news.
