Bulkland

The party is drawing to an end.  In ”Bulkland” migrant workers, factory owners and night club dancers struggle to carve out their slice of the pie in a city dedicated to bulk sales of cheap junk: Yiwu, the raw, throbbing heart of “Made in China”, where every day is a hustle.  As cheap goods have flooded world markets, dollar stores have popped up around the globe and built this present-day Klondike, connected by the world’s longest railway to markets in Western Europe.  It’s been a party lasting for decades, but now some of the participants are going home.  Yiwu’s inhabitants face a changing China that is trying to reach past the simple mass production that the country’s wealth is built upon.
