Underpinning the latest wave of economic globalization is Adam Smith’s 18th century theory of the invisible hand of individual self-interest as the driving force in free markets. And no corner of the world remains untouched by the invisible hand of this "new economy." In Guinea, multinational bauxite mining operations have brought massive machines to strip the rich red earth of its ore, which travels to the sea on endless trains, and is loaded on ships bound for Canada where it will be processed into aluminum. Bypassed by the mining operation, the people of Guinea live at the far end of the aluminum industry chain, collecting foreign-made discarded pop cans which they reforge into otherwise unaffordable life necessities - pots, pans, nails. From within this local and very visible handiwork culture, local dance and music traditions grow and reach back out to the world. Sylvain L’Espérance has chosen not to present us with a treatise on globalization, but rather to quietly and respectfully observe local ingenuity at work. Full of unexpected connections, surprising insights, high-energy song and dance, and exquisite images, this elegantly woven film celebrates creativity and embodies resistance to the brutalities of globalization’s invisible hand.
