Synopsis by Tom Ciampoli
This documentary from Tom Xia explores some of the challenges Americans face while trying to find gifts for their loved ones, and the effects that their purchases of cheaply-produced products have on human connection. A Chinese-American and his family build a new home, while another family tries to avoid Chinese-made products after their son contracts lead poisoning from a product that is eventually recalled.
