Plot

Shot below the radar, this film follows the journey of Chinese factory migrant worker-turned-activist Yi Yeting, who takes his fight against the global electronic industry from his hospital bed to the international stage.

Sinekatalog’s take

Filmed quietly and at some risk, this documentary follows a migrant factory worker who becomes an activist against the electronics industry. It is a sober, urgent look at the human cost behind everyday gadgets, best for viewers who want their non-fiction to carry weight.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
