Peled, Micha. China Blue. San Francisco: Teddy Bear Films, 2005. 35 mm, 86 min. https://youtu.be/5_Cba5qNNzk.
Shot clandestinely in China, under difficult conditions, this is a deep-access account of what both China and the international retail companies don’t want us to see—how the clothes we buy are actually made. China Blue takes us inside a blue-jeans factory, where two teenage girls, Jasmine and Orchid, are trying to survive the 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. (Source: Official Film Website)
