ABOUT THE FILM:
In Mandarin with English subtitles.
Dingy sweatshops. Hard-nosed bosses. Young people crammed into bare-bones accommodations. The ever-present hum of industrial sewing machines.
YOUTH (HARD TIMES) is the second installment in Chinese director Wang Bing’s monumental series chronicling the lives of migrant garment workers — some as young as 15 — in the Zhili district of Huzhou City. Wang immerses himself in the lives of these workers, as they try to find potential dates, negotiate better piece-work rates with bosses, and sew, sew, sew, everything from padded jackets, to jeans, to pillows.
