Pbs Learning Media: Migrant Workers and Social Justice: Wide Angle

Curated by ACT

History's largest ongoing migration is occurring in China. One out every ten Chinese is leaving the rural countryside for one of China's major cities. Despite their hard work, many of these peasants are finding their dreams for a better life in the city shattered by laws that deny them the same rights as urban citizens. In this video from the Wide Angle film "The People's Court," meet some of the peasants who have been largely ignored by the nation that they are helping to rebuild. [3:10]
