Despite trying to remain neutral amidst accusations of exploitation, there’s little doubt where Marc and Nick Francis’ sympathies lie in this piece on Sino-African relations. The siblings are quick to castigate the former colonial powers for their broken promises to the world’s poorest continent. But they also question the Chinese commitment to being a “good brother to Africa” by focusing on the dismissive attitude of Liu Changming to his Zambian farm workers — even minister Felix Mutati gets a frosty reception during a trade mission to Beijing. Exposing the truth about the Chinese entrepreneurial spirit as the global socio-economic balance is about to shift, this is an important, compelling film.
