Made in China is the true story of a handwritten plea for help found in a box of Halloween decorations purchased from an Oregon Kmart. This letter from Sun Yi, a political prisoner forced into grueling, unpaid labor, would lead Amelia Pang in pursuit of its origins and expose the often hidden, torturous human cost of cheap consumer goods.
