"Redmon's sly, engrossing documentary is an expert riposte to smug proponents of globalization. Thomas Friedman and your fellow flat-earthers! Watch this movie!" -The Village Voice

"Mardi Gras: Made in China emerged as by far the Sundance festival's most interesting and revealing look at China - A film like Redmon's Mardi Gras practices politics." -Cinema Scope

Director David Redmon and Producer Ashley Sabin live in person!

MARDI GRAS: MADE IN CHINA is a story of globalization told through humor and sadness, hope and violence by various characters, including the owner of a bead factory in China (the largest Mardi Gras bead distributor in the world), carnival revelers who exchange beads during Mardi Gras, and four teenage workers in China who make Mardi Gras beads. By confronting an increasingly globalized world where consumers and producers are alienated from each other, the film attempts to re-establish human connections through curiosity and humor as it renders visible the seemingly invisible bead trail from the factory to the festival.
