China Blue
1 x 86’, 2005, SD
Shot clandestinely in China, this film exposes what retail companies don’t want us to see - how the clothes we buy are actually made. China Blue takes us inside a jeans factory, where two teenage girls, Jasmine and Orchid, are trying to survive the near-impossible conditions. But when the factory owner agrees a deal with his western client that forces his teenage workers to work around the clock, a confrontation becomes inevitable.

This filmic journey around the world presents a wide range of astonishing and amusing animal antics, from mischievous Barbary macaques to penguins on beaches, from monkeys in thermal baths to elephants at a hotel reception.

Animal Babies

This film is a gripping and emotional investigation of the perils young animals face in the forests, meadows and lakes and along the coastlines of northern Europe.
