Synopsis by Augustine Chay
Director Jessica Kingdon’s documentary examines how the “Chinese Dream” manifests in the everyday lives of China's citizens while propagating a growing class divide in contemporary society. Filmed across 51 locations in China – including factories, shopping malls, and larger-than-life recreational sites – it presents a panoramic yet intimate perspective of the nation’s relentless pursuit of productivity, innovation, and consumption.
