Sorry, this movie sucks
Overrated and overhyped
The extraordinary patience and perseverance of Micha Peled, against much Chinese obstruction, rewards us with appalling insights to the world of cheap labour exploitation in China. The near slavery of the young garment workers shames our own cushy lives and reveals the darkest side of international trade. No one should buy a pair of cheap fashion jeans ever again without knowing what China Blue reveals went into making them for the price.See the film and understand the ruthless modern world. Raise your voice if you can for workers rights in China. (Check out 'Labour behind the Label'). Above all remember that many people have suffered to provide you and me with a bargain. John Dollar
This is not the usual rant about China's sweat shop factories, Peled's film is much more powerful than that. By focusing on a narrow cast of characters we get to know and love his protagonists, young girls from the provinces forced to travel to find work but also fascinated by the glamour of city life. Instead of the usual pat liberalism, the film goes on to show how even the bosses are also caught up in a cycle of exploitation that ends ultimately with the foreign buyers insisting on ludicrously low prices. Funny, moving and intelligent: the film shows you how we can get such unbelievable deals and why China has become the workshop of the world.A masterpiece of political documentary making.
Danish TV has tonight shown the prize winning documentary CHINA BLUE. I was shocked even though all of us know the little texture MADE IN CHINA.. It is just not human behavior to make these teenage girls and boys work under such conditions and the manager does not even appreciate one single worker - for him it is a question only about money.. Unfortunately we know that this particular jeans factory is far from an exception but who will not be influenced in some way on some level by this story.. It should not be humans in this world who managed such slavery in these times. The manager at the factory is to my understanding a former police chief, how can he not care about human rights and decent treatment and human circumstances for his employees...
This movie made me reflect for the first time in my life who are the people making the clothes that I and my family wears. My daughter was so moved that she went home and threw out of her wardrobe everything with a "Made in China" label. Now she wants to write a letter back to Jasmine, the heroine of the movie.If all teenagers see this movie something will change in the whole globalization/outsourcing system.After reading in the end credits that the film crew was arrested in China while shooting this movie I am wondering what else is going on in China that we don't know about. You keep hearing the media about human rights abuse in China, but I've always thought it was only done to individuals who dare to protest. This film shows it's systematic and millions of people suffer as a result.
