Mardi Gras: Made in China Film and Presentation by David Redmon
Mardi Gras: Made in China is a 66 minute documentary
that explores the production, consumption, and
disposal of Mardi Gras beads. Filmed on location in
Fuzhou, China and New Orleans, Louisiana, the
documentary follows "The Bead Trail" backwards from
the bacchanalia at Mardi Gras to the factories in
Fuzhou where the beads are made. When each group is
shown images of the other, the cycle of
misunderstanding goes a long way to explaining how the
unjust system is kept in place.
Bio: David Redmon is currently in post-production of a
documentary film about a young woman who makes
Victoria's Secret bras in Mexico. The film explores
the concept of "intimacy." You can contact David at:
