TEXAS PREMIERE followed by Q&A with filmmakers in attendance

Co-directors Xinyan Yu and Max Duncan's Made in Ethiopia offers an unprecedented look at China’s complex influence on Africa through the lens of a massive industrial park reshaping rural Ethiopia. Filmed over four years, the documentary follows three women whose lives intersect at the crossroads of globalization. As the park promises jobs and progress, painful realities emerge, revealing the tension between industrial ambition and traditional ways of life. - Tony Nguyen, Feature Film Programmer
