Title:
China blue
Summary:
This documentary visits a Chinese blue-jean factory, where female workers are trying to survive a harsh working environment. But when the factory owner agrees to a deal with his Western client that forces his teenage workers to work around the clock, a confrontation becomes inevitable. "China Blue", which was made without permission from the Chinese authorities, offers an alarming report on the economic pressures applied by Western companies and the resulting human consequences, as the real profits are made--and kept--in first-world countries. The unexpected ending makes the connection between the exploited workers and U.S. consumers even clearer. Providing perspectives from both the top and bottom levels of the factoryś hierarchy, the film looks at complex issues of globalization from the human level.
