    • Synopsis
    • "The sun doesn't shine upon everyone equally." In this heartbreaking and enlightening documentary, award-winning filmmakers QIN Xiaoyu and WU Feiyue introduce us to five workers behind essential products that sell nationally and globally. Drown in tedious labor in dangerous work environments rarely seen by the public and exploited by a dehumanizing global capitalist machine, the protagonists reclaim their dignity and transcend time, space, and life with achingly powerful poetry, an art form alienated by a world busy chasing fortune and power. With arresting visuals and emotional sounds, Iron Moon (The Verse of Us) shows us the dark shadow behind a radiating economy.
