Synopsis

The film follows the Chinese dream through the social classes, prioritizing productivity and innovation.

Production

Initially, Jessica Kingdon planned on making a trilogy of short films focusing on the cycle of production, consumption and waste, however, it was difficult to secure funding for a series, and instead decided to develop the trilogy into a feature film.[3] Kingdon wanted to make a film about capitalism and how it affects viewers in their own countries, and did not want to specifically single out China.[4] Production on the film took place in 51 locations throughout China.[5] The title of the film originates from a poem written by Jessica Kingdon's great-grandfather.[6]

Release

The film had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 12, 2021, where it won Best Documentary Feature and the Albert Maysles Award for Best New Documentary Director.[7][8] On September 26, 2021, the film had its European premiere at the Zurich Film Festival, where it was entered in the competition for best documentary film.[9]

In August 2021, it was announced MTV Documentary Films had acquired distribution rights to the film, and set it for an October 8, 2021, release.[10]
