Filmul traseaza o legatura intre o fabrica din China si strada Bourbon in timpul sarbatoarii Mardi Gras, expunand clar inechitatile globalizarii. Regizorul David Redmon juxtapune excesului consumist american, viata grea a lucratorilor din fabrica din China. Filmul urmareste povestile a patru tinere lucratoare in cea mai mare fabrica de produse Mardi Gras din lume, facandu-ne partasi la greutatile lor financiare, sacrificiul de sine, visele de viata mai buna si disciplina severa. Documentarul expune contrastul izbitor dintre vietile si libertatile femeilor apartinand celor doua culturi.
