Two interweaving stories of youth crime and family crisis shed light on illegal immigration and human trafficking in China Fujian province, in this award winning debut film. "The whole world fears Fujian!" announces a TV pundit, commenting on the notoriety of China's southeastern province as the country's center for illegal emigration and human trafficking. Made with a cast of non-professionals playing characters very much like themselves, Robin Weng's pin-sharp feature debut reveals why and how so many young Chinese pay to have themselves smuggled in containers to the West.
