Part of the "China's Past, Present, Future on Film" series

"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.

"Weng has created a compelling portrait of the motivations and pressures facing the people of Fujian." – Cameron Maitland, Schema Magazine
