A journey you've never taken before,
By
This review is from: Mardi Gras: Made in China (DVD)
This film was a revelation! We may be aware that many of our goods come from overseas, but this film lets us LIVE that reality, following Mardi Gras beads from the hands of diligent Chinese factory workers to frenzied Mardi Gras celebrants in New Orleans. The director never "tells" when he can "show" instead, and as a result we are drawn into the story in a personal, intimate, and eye-opening way. The contrasts are startling and the realities complex. One of the best and most thought-provoking documentaries I've seen.

You will learn something from this film while simultaneously being entertained. The clever cuts merge two traditionally-isolated worlds in a way that is very fresh and surprising.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Mardi Gras: Made in China (DVD)
Great documentary. It traces a simple commodity and reveals its social and economic relationships that are hidden view. The 'cultural' exchange experiment in the movie is particularly revealing. There is a shortened version of the film also included in the DVD which is recommended for classroom viewing. Recommended for students in sociology and anthropology.
