Solace and Solidarity on the Factory Floor Solace and Solidarity on the Factory Floor Wang Bing’s Youth is an epic work of people’s history writ small.
Still from Youth (Homecoming) (Courtesy of Icarus Films)Early in Wang Bing’s 2023–24 documentary series, Youth, a brawl breaks out between two young factory workers.
What starts as sophomoric workplace clowning, a distraction from the rigor of labor, ends up close to blows.
Held back by an older relative, one worker threatens to report the instigators to factory management.
Filmed over five years in Zhili, a factory district in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, Youth is an extraordinary, patient work.
