Review from Guardian:

A tiger mum is the mum who wants the best for her child and who never says: "Tonight you can forget about your homework."

At GCSE level, Chinese students are the highest-performing ethnic group in Britain but, as this amiable documentary points out, that isn't a statistic that just happens.

For some Chinese kids, school is one thing – but the real work begins at home, in structured extra-curricular additional education, music, language etc, and at specially convened Sunday schools.

Does a child's childhood get lost? And, in an increasingly competitive world, does that even matter?
