SUMMARY:Film Screening:CHOP | China Ongoing Perspectives Film Series
DESCRIPTION:When a massive Chinese industrial park lands in rural Ethiopia\, a dusty farming town finds itself at the new frontier of globalization. The sprawling factory complex’s formidable Chinese director Motto now needs every bit of mettle and charm she can muster to push through a high-stakes expansion that promises 30\,000 new jobs. Ethiopian farmer Workinesh and factory worker Beti have staked their futures on the prosperity the park promises. But as initial hope meets painful realities\, they find themselves\, like their country\, at a pivotal crossroads.\n   \n   Filmed over four years with singular access\, Made in Ethiopia lifts the curtain on China’s historic but misunderstood impact on Africa\, and explores contemporary Ethiopia at a moment of profound crisis. The film throws audiences into two colliding worlds: an industrial juggernaut fueled by profit and progress\, and a vanishing countryside where life is still measured by the cycle of the seasons. Its nuance\, complexity and multi-perspective approach go beyond black-and-white narratives of victims and villains. As the three women’s stories unfold\, Made in Ethiopia challenges us to rethink the relationship between tradition and modernity\, growth and welfare\, the development of a country and the well being of its people.\n\nLight refreshments will be provided. Q&A following the film with Director Xinyan Yu (via Zoom) and Professor Kelly Askew (in person)\, U-M Professor of Anthropology and Afroamerican & African Studies.\n\nMade in Ethiopia (2024 ‧ Documentary ‧ 1h 31m) Directors: Max Duncan\, Xinyan Yu\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUBm1FZ_ro4
