China Blue

A rejtett felvétellel készített China Blue árnyalt, mély és megindító képet ad a ruháinkat készítő névtelen fiatal munkáslányok mindennapjairól. A film felülbírálja azt a képet, hogy a dolgozó lányok vakon engedelmeskednek. A China Blue figyelemreméltó betekintést ad az új Kína hétköznapjaiba.

China Blue (2005)
New York Times Critics' Pick
January 25, 2007
The Heartbreak of Cheap Labor
By JEANNETTE CATSOULIS

"China Blue," a heartbreaking and meticulous documentary about life inside a blue-jeans factory in China, reveals more than we may care to know about the provenance of our most beloved item of clothing. Employing smuggled equipment and outright deception, Micha X. Peled and his crew infiltrate a plant owned by Guo Xi Lam, a former police chief who is clearly proud of his success. "We are happy to make the jeans for the whole world," says his beaming sales manager, while clients like Wal-Mart suggest the factory is well on its way.

The cost of that goal is paid by people like Jasmine, 16, a sweet-faced thread-cutter who often works punishing 20-hour shifts for an average of 6 cents an hour (minus deductions for food and hot water). But "China Blue" is more than an exercise in cinematic activism. Patiently following Jasmine — who uses precious sleep time to write stories about a female superhero — and several lively co-workers as they fight for their wages and plan visits to their home villages, the film develops a natural dramatic structure that's profoundly affecting. Mr. Peled doesn't just record the girls' indignities, he listens to their dreams.

Moving from tense management meetings to fierce price negotiations with Western buyers, "China Blue" examines the plight of the world's largest pool of cheap labor and traces its exploitation to a retail outlet near you.
