China Blue is a 2005 documentary film directed by Micha Peled.[1] It follows the life of Jasmine Li, a young seventeen-year-old worker from Sichuan province, in a Chinese jeans factory, Lifeng Clothes Factory (丽锋服饰制衣有限公司) in Shaxi, Guangdong [2] producing Vigaze Jeans (a company based in Istanbul, Turkey [3]), hence the title. Jasmine earned about half a yuan for one hour's work (which amounted to about six US cents).[4]
The documentary discusses both the sweatshop conditions in factories in China and the growing importance of China as an exporting country on a global scale.
At the 2005 Amnesty International film festival, it won the Amnesty International-DOEN Award. In April 2007 China Blue aired on the award winning PBS series Independent Lens.
