This feature-length documentary explores the first religion of China that existed before Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism.  The Altar of Heaven complex in Beijing, also known as Tian Tan, is the third most visited tourist site in China.  Yet, very few in China understand that it was the place where the Emperor sacrificed and interceded for his people with the Supreme God who created all things.  This most-high God is known as Shang Di, and Chinese history tells us that the imperial sacrifices to Shang Di go all the way back to the third millennium BCE.  Can it be that the supreme God of China, who was worshiped by the Chinese people throughout most of their history, is the same Creator God of Judaism and of Christianity?
