Danwei TV Hard Hat Show: Together with Migrants

This episode of the Hard Hat Show is about migrant workers in Beijing. It includes interviews and footage of an event at Beijing's Jianwai Soho real esate development where an NGO called Hua Dan, together with UNESCO and the property developers, organized 'Together with Migrants'.

This day long event was intended to both teach and entertain migrant workers and inform the general public about their plight. In this episode of the Hard Hat Show, we speak to migrant workers as well as artists and organizers from the event, and find out what some of the workers think of the Jianwai Soho development and Pan Shiyi, the media figure and tycoon behind it.

This episode was shot by Anna Sophie Loewenberg, Hao Chong and Luke Mines, edited and with interviews by Anna Sophie Loewenberg, presented by Jeremy Goldkorn, with music by Fernando Fidanza. Pan Shiyi was not harmed in the making of this episode.

I feel so sorry for these workers working so hard.They really should pay them more,and give more respect to them.

Wonderful episodes and the real situation is always two-sided..The guy and the interviewer with the camera speaks good Chinese with some accents..haha..

Ya, but sleeping on the streets is quite harsh.

Bad translation! It is "a book", NOT "a little red book". The object which is red is the flower, not the book.

To all those "ignorant westerners" cmplainin about migrant's conditions, pays etc.

how about you stop judging them through western eyes and look at it objctively.

compared to their breathren in the coutryside selling the cabbage, these men can afford to send their kids to school, support their families at home. compared to 20 years ago, they would have starved to death. we don't live in a perfect world and perhaps some people can appreciate the fact that these men are grateful even for a job

I think it's really disrespectful to film the sandals of the chinese workers... sometimes westerners really don't have any manners.... especially american and english...
