The Squeaky Wheel will host a screening of Ku Qian (Bitter Money, Wang Bing, France / Hong Kong 2016, 152 min.)

Wang Bing's celebrated Bitter Money (2016) follows a handful of workers in the city of Huzhou, home to 18,000 clothing factories. Capturing them both at work—where they may labor for more than 12 hours a day—and in their off-hours, this demanding, rewarding film incisively captures the conditions of the contemporary textile industry.
