A group of Ethiopian women, a Chinese company with big ambitions, and a land fiercely defended by its farmers. This is not just a simple David vs. Goliath story—it’s a reflection on what we define as prosperity.

An agricultural village in the heart of Ethiopia. Centuries of a simple, hardworking life. Then, suddenly, globalization: on the horizon, a vast manufacturing complex takes shape, led by a determined Chinese entrepreneur.

Filmed over four years, this documentary captures the slow yet relentless transformation from rural to industrial. As the protagonists’ stories unfold, we witness the impact of China’s growing presence in Africa—marked by promises, dilemmas, and unexpected twists along the way.
