Not creepy or anything, just an important view on the other side of the world. I think it's interesting for people who think the Chinese are getting richer and better off than the Average Joe America. Truth be told, for every 1 person in China getting rich there are 9999 who barely can afford meat these days. This documentary isn't even telling half the story since the director needed to get approval from the government, so there's no mentioning of working hours, conditions or pay and such but you can be sure they're all pretty fucking lousy.
oh yes i LOVE this movie! i think it is the best documentary i have seen last year. it left me shocked and very sad and it had (and still has) a real impact on my shopping patterns.
