When a massive Chinese factory complex in rural Ethiopia plans an ambitious expansion to a second site, the realities of industrialisation are pulled into focus.
Made in Ethiopia takes a panoramic view, following three women involved in the project from polar perspectives: Motto, the formidable businesswoman in charge of the expansion project, factory worker Beti who has staked her future on the work opportunities the factory provides, and farmer Workinesh, whose land has been earmarked for the new industrial park.
Filmed over four years, Made in Ethiopia lifts the curtain on China’s historic but misunderstood impact on Africa, and explores contemporary Ethiopia at a moment of profound change.
