The 18-Year-Old Assembly Line

Directed by Luojunnan Yin

2016 – 30'

Synopsis

We happened to make friends with this group of factory workers in the “post-90s” generation while we were working on another projects. We were quite fascinated by many things that we documented in this film ourselves and made it happen in the end. The concept of sweatshops in contrast with how the new factories have evolved; the compressed and controlled mind compares to how freely they now decide for themselves; the millennial situation globally and the “post-90s” phenomenon in China.
