She learns about the outside world through the trash it produces: small packages of powder allow her to taste coffee; she learns English from discarded greeting cards; and broken Barbie dolls become her best friends. Her father drinks away her tuition fees. The owner of the plant works night and day to buy a fancy car, ignoring his and his family's physical and mental health problems. He looks down on Yi-Jie’s family, but depends on them to do the dirty work. Will Yi-Jie break out of the cycle of poverty or succeed her parents as an illiterate laborer? A poignant story of social inequality which reminds us that our own actions can have a direct impact on people living thousands of kilometers away. 655 Documentary films 942 |2ddc |cHDD 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_4416_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9152803FL |bFL |d2021-11-04 |l0 |oFL Record 4416 |pHU_OSA_00006137.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2021-11-04 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 QorLMnYG 966 True |bHU_OSA_00006137 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
