What makes this film worth watching?

A compelling, heartbreaking documentary that follows the lives of the Chinese immigrant workers who make the products we use. There is no editorial commentary, just the cameras following one family. The stresses are so great it is sometimes hard to watch. A very moving film.

A quietly moving, empathetic social biopsy of the working class, migrant Chinese who produce so much of the world's goods.
Work 50 weeks a year in a smoggy city at a hellish job, living in a crappy "apartment", with 2 weeks "off" spending all but one of the days traveling in hellhole lines, trains, ferries, buses, roads, trucks, and taxis? Happy new year, not so much.
when you think you have it bad,someone else has it worse, suprising look at the big red machine
very good story. families all over the world are the same working all the time kids not listening to then wont take any advice cause they already it allparents working with no health insuranse and no savings working till they fall over dead while rich people are laughing about it
Truth that remains hidden often is well exposed.
Everyone should see this film. Though it depicts the lives of Chinese migrant workers, it stands well for all those who find their families broken by their struggles to better their lives.
I think my one month with Fandor.com is about to end. I have never received higher entertainment value for the buck than this month with Fandor. I have watched over 30 movies. Every one was a gift. Thank you! I will come back to you but now, inspired I must work.
My Name is Joy, La Vuelta: A Journey Back, and Why Kerala, Grampa?
are films that might have a place at Fandor, I don't know. They can be seen at youtube. Again thank you for a spectacular month. You know the movies I have watched. I was not disappointed ever. I will be back. Paz tom chamberlin
