A contemporary western documentary that takes place against the backdrop of a newly emerging Chinese-African dynamic in the landlocked, rural kingdom of Lesotho.

The arrival of new settlers – economic migrants from China – has upset the balance of power. The unbridled forces of capitalism and globalization are felt deep in these rural communities as a new order begins to evolve.
