I'm New Here

Fely, the film’s protagonist, first arrived in China from Kinshasa in 2009. He learned the language, made money, and helped to establish one of the first African communities in Tian Xiu. He settled here and, thanks to his contacts, negotiates business deals with local enterprises for arriving African businessmen. Even Fely’s life is not easy in this country, burdened by prejudices against foreigners and constantly changing immigration laws, and things are even harder for newcomers. Things don’t always go smoothly in China, and many have no choice other than to return home empty-handed. (One World)
