a| In 2008, the Chinese government decided to invest $586 billion on infrastructure in an effort to stimulate the country's economy. Filmmaker Zhang Zanbo received unprecedented access to the implementation of the financial plan and for three years he filmed the construction of a section of a highway through a quiet village in Hunan, a mountainous province in southern China and the birthplace of Chairman Mao. The film follows local villagers and peasants, who are forced to move due to land acquisition. Temples are moved and migrant workers, who make up the majority of the workforce, experience lack of safety under very difficult working conditions. The management of the construction company has been strongly supported by the Communist Party and the local authorities, but they want their share of the financial apple. As a consequence corruption and violence has become a common part of the making of the road. Nevertheless, the Xu-Huai Highway was opened with great fanfare in 2013.
