Duration: 00:55:00
A tale bound together by luxurious high-heel shoes. Brand-name high heels sold for $300 to $1000 – where and how are they made? From procuring the leather, to the assembly line, to the contract manufacturer, to the moment when lily-white feet slip into each pair of high heels, how many people's hands do these shoes pass through? The farming woman who tends the cattle, the worker, the manager of the contract manufacturing firm, the young New York-based fashion designer – they all have their own difficulties and dreams in life. This film centers on their lives, revealing the story behind a pair of luxury high heels, and tracing their footsteps from China to the streets of Manhattan, from an impoverished farm town to the prosperous metropolis. |
