Documentary | NA CHINA (2020) – CAMEROUN, CHINE, FRANCE

 

Jackie, Julie and Shanny, like thousands of young women and men from the African continent, have went to Guangzhou in China, hoping to make a fortune there. Struggling in the globalized Chinese economy, they try to start or to improve their business in relation with their home countries. Piles of Nike sneakers, Vuitton handbags by parcels of 100, Gucci shirts in pallets ... every day, these small or big investors, beginners or experienced, buy, pack and ship tons of goods which are stacked up in containers bound for Douala, Lagos or Mombasa.
