Sobre este artículo

Alex Cohen is a 26-year-old Jewish Bostonian, living in a remote village in southern China where his father runs a family-owned shoe factory. When Alex reluctantly assumes the helm of the company and explores the plant's vast assembly lines, he comes to a grim realization: employees are exploited, regulatory systems are corrupt, and Alex's father is engaging in payoffs and bribes to protect the bottom line.
As he becomes close to a seamstress named Ivy, Alex's sympathies begin to shift to the Chinese workers. When it is revealed that Ivy is an embedded organizer of a pro-democratic Chinese party and is secretly sowing dissonance, Alex is torn. Will he remain loyal to his father and his heritage?
