Youth (Hard Times)
Streaming video - 2024
YOUTH (HARD TIMES) is the second installment in Chinese director Wang Bing’s monumental series chronicling the lives of migrant garment workers — some as young as 15 — in the Zhili district of Huzhou City. Wang immerses himself in the lives of these workers, as they try to find potential dates, negotiate better piece-work rates with bosses, and sew, sew, sew, everything from padded jackets, to jeans, to pillows. Intimate and evocative, YOUTH (HARD TIMES) is a striking portrait of young lives in an alien environment that's radically different from the rural homes so many of them come from.
