Globalization Gone Wild

Globalization Gone Wild follows the path of Mardi Gras beads to the naked streets of New Orleans, the factories in China where teenage workers assemble them, Iraq where US soldiers toss them, and to the streets of Miami where the police beat and shoot bead wearing protestors. Director David Redmon carefully show the connections between nudity, labor, petroleum, and protest. The Mardi Gras bead first appears as a trivial commodity and ends up as a global story about raw connections between pleasure and pain, absurdity and seriousness.
