Is there compensation given to people resettled during dam construction?

  Given to people, or given to property owners?

  Surely it depends on the jurisdiction

    And theory and practice might vary. I saw a heartbreaking segment in a documentary about the Three Gorges Dam about a very old couple who were supposed to receive compensation or replacement for their home being flooded. It never arrived. So we got to watch these two people in their late 70s or 80s carry their old home brick by brick up a steep mountain side.

      Return to Dust (隐入尘烟) - 2022 has some similarities but won’t say more (no spoil). The movie is great and China censorship story worth a glance. There no direct critics but it depicts some collaterals of rural areas transformations. Also poetic and contemplative.
