Film Screening: “Made in Ethiopia”
5 PM – Screening
7 PM Q&A with Directors
8O8 Commonwealth Ave., 1st Floor, Boston MA
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.
The screening is sponsored by the BU African Studies Center, BU Center for the Study of Asia, and the BU Global Development Center.
