Factory Town

They were once the vanguard of the socialist revolution. Today, they are producers of private profit and objects of state policies. Reshaped and reworked to fit the needs of China’s socialist market economy. But behind each of China’s new proletariat lies a tale of resistance and courage.

Factory Towns, a two-part documentary series illuminating the vast, changing landscape of China’s Industrial Revolution through the lives of young factory workers.
