Filmed over four years with singular access, “Made in Ethiopia” lifts the curtain on China’s historic but misunderstood impact on Africa, and explores contemporary Ethiopia at a moment of profound crisis. The film immerses viewers in two colliding worlds: a booming industrial powerhouse driven by profit and progress, and a disappearing countryside where life is still guided by the rhythm of the seasons. Co-organized by the Boston University African Studies Center, African Studies Library, Center for the Study of Asia and Global Development Policy Center, the event will feature a 90-minute film screening followed by a 30-minute Q&A with directors Xinyan Yu and Max Duncan.
