Originally produced by Collective Eye Films in 2024.When a massive Chinese industrial park lands in rural Ethiopia, a dusty farming town finds itself at the new frontier of globalization. The sprawling factory complex’s formidable Chinese director Motto now needs every bit of mettle and charm she can muster to push through a high-stakes expansion that promises 30,000 new jobs. Ethiopian farmer Workinesh and factory worker Beti have staked their futures on the prosperity the park promises. But as initial hope meets painful realities, they find themselves, like their country, at a pivotal crossroads. Filmed over four years with singular access, MADE IN ETHIOPIA lifts the curtain on China’s historic but misunderstood impact on Africa, and explores contemporary Ethiopia at a moment of profound crisis. The film throws audiences into two colliding worlds: an industrial juggernaut fueled by profit and progress, and a vanishing countryside where life is still measured by the cycle of the seasons. And its nuance, complexity and multi-perspective approach go beyond black and white narratives of victims and villains. As the three women’s stories unfold, MADE IN ETHIOPIA challenges us to rethink the relationship between tradition and modernity, growth and welfare, the development of a country and the well-being of its people.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Arts.; Business.; Economic development.; African studies.; Foreign study.; Fashion.; Documentary films.; Artists.; Current affairs.; China.; Globalization.; Rural conditions.; Africa.; Africa--Economic conditions.; Farmers.; Businesswomen.; Textile fabrics.; Art and architecture.;

Lucky Jack, as he is referred to by his crew, is well regarded by his men, who trust him implicitly, even after the first devastating battle and an apparent personal vendetta against the French captain. The ship's surgeon balances the violence of his chosen life with the quiet demeanor of the scientist. He is the captain's friend and confidant, the two frequently playing violin and cello duets togetherCanadian Home Video Rating: 14ADVD ; widescreen presentation- Subjects: O'Brian, Patrick, 1914-200; Aubrey, Jack (Fictitious character); Maturin, Stephen (Fictitious character); Napoleonic Wars, 1800-1815; Navies; Adventure film; Feature film; Video recordings for the hearing impaire;
