Film: Mardi Gras Made In China


Film: Mardi Gras Made In China

I thought the film was interesting. I definitely never thought of it like that.  I enjoyed how in depth the film maker went into the working at the factory.  I do agree that it’s a problem and a huge waste of materials and create and enormous amount of waste for practically no reason.  It takes time, and requires a lot of people to produce these beads just to be thrown away in a few minutes.  Based on that it is pretty messed up, but you can’t just compare the price the beads are sold here for how much the workers are being paid.  Because the price of items and even services are different here than they are there.  Sure they only make a few cents an hour but over there (from what the film said) wasn’t that bad of money, of course it would be here.  It sucks that that much waste is produced from that short of an event.
