China says just over 5,300 schoolchildren died or remain missing after last year's devastating Sichuan earthquake, far lower than initial reports at the time. Parents have blamed local corruption and official neglect for the collapse of so many schools and for the loss of their children. We speak to co-directors Jon Alpert and Matt O'Neill about their new HBO film China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province, which visits with the parents in China in the days after the disaster.

Another big earthquake hit China, killing 156 people and more than 5,000 people injured. How tragic!
QUOTE BEIJING (Reuters) - A strong 6.6 magnitude earthquake hit a remote, mostly rural and mountainous area of southwestern China's Sichuan province on Saturday, killing at least 156 people and injuring about 5,500 close to where a big quake killed almost 70,000 people in 2008.
The earthquake, China's worst in three years, occurred at 8.02 a.m. (0002 GMT) in Lushan county near [Yes]'an city and the epicenter had a depth of 12 km (7.5 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The quake was felt by residents in neighboring provinces and in the provincial capital of Chengdu, causing many people to rush out of buildings, according to accounts on China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo microblogging service.
State media said 156 people had been confirmed dead with more than 5,500 injured.
President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang said all efforts must be put into rescuing victims to limit the death toll. Source 6
