Youth (Spring)

Youth (Spring) provides an in-depth look at the town of Zhili in Huzhou City, Zhejiang province, China. Shot between 2014 and 2019, it highlights the experiences of around 300,000 migrant workers in over 18,000 workshops that produce children's clothing, both for domestic consumption and export.

The documentary delves into the lives of these workers, primarily from rural provinces like Yunnan and Guizhou. The film captures their daily routines and the realities of labor in the garment industry. With a runtime of 212 minutes, it offers a comprehensive view of this vital yet often overlooked sector of the economy.
