Synopsis
An impressive documentary about the “side-effects” of globalisation, seen through the arduous everyday lives of young female workers in a jeans factory in China. The day-to-day work conditions to which Jasmine and her teenage colleagues are subjected disrespect all international labour norms. The situation is aggravated further when the owner of the factory closes an important deal with a Western client and begins to demand that his employees work overtime to carry out the order.
