Shot clandestinely in China, "China Blue" presents a journey inside a blue-jeans factory, where working conditions are harsh beyond imagination.
Opening April 6 at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center, "China Blue" follows Jasmine and a group of teenage friends who work in the factory. The conditions are unlawful by international standards and tensions in the factory run high. When the factory owner strikes a deal with a Western client and demands around-the-clock production to meet a deadline, confrontation becomes inevitable.
"China Blue" is a deep-access account of what China and international retail companies don't want consumers to see - how clothes are actually made.
"China Blue" shows at the Ross through April 12. For more information, including show times, go online to www.theross.org or call 472-5353.
