China Blue dresse le portrait de Jasmine, jeune ouvrière chinoise ayant quitté sa campagne pour pouvoir travailler dans une fabrique de jeans près de Canton. Elle y témoigne, avec pudeur et sincérité, des conditions de travail qui sont les siennes dans le seul but de pouvoir fabriquer des vêtements bon marché. Ce documentaire offre un rare aperçu de la transformation rapide de la Chine et de ses conséquences. A l'opposé de l'image de travailleuses soumises, le film révèle une volonté farouche de se défendre et de résister.
