"The most heartbreaking, moving film in theaters right now is not Babel, Letters From Iwo Jima or Little Children," writes G Allen Johnson in the San Francisco Chronicle. "It is China Blue, a documentary about sweatshop workers at a denim factory."

At the main site, Hannah Eaves talks with Bay Area documentarian Micha X Peled about his "illegal project."

"From China to a jeans outlet near you, China Blue's greatest contribution is not to film culture but to human-rights activism, exposing myths and truths about our cruel global market," writes Ed Gonzalez at Slant.

"It's a vérité portrait of adolescents who are instantly recognizable, though their sweatshop environs might strike us as nearly unendurable," writes Dennis Harvey in the San Francisco Bay Guardian.
