Abstract
"Guangzhou Dream Factory" (2016) weaves stories of Africans chasing alluring, yet elusive, “Made in China” dreams into a provocative critique of 21st-century global capitalism. Featuring a dynamic cast of men and women from Cameroon, Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda, Guangzhou Dream Factory provides a rare glimpse of African aspirations in an age of endless outsourcing. Filmmaker Christiane Badgley along with faculty Tristan Ivory and Tao Leigh Goffe moderated by grad student Kun Huang discussed the film with audience members.
