The Last Cut

The oldest barbershop in Manhattan’s Chinatown is coming to its close. The barbers, all immigrants, have to face their retirement and adapt to this new stage of life.

Filmed below the radar in China and sparking a global campaign with the release of its first trailer, Complicit tells the story of Chinese migrant worker Yi Yeting and his effort to eliminate life-threatening benzene from workplaces producing smartphones. While struggling with occupational leukemia, he discovers many others have also been poisoned at tech factories in the Pearl River Delta. Seeking justice, Yi travels from his hospital room where he helps other workers to Silicon Valley and the international stage. Against huge odds, he directly confronts corporate and government interests, while empowering and inspiring the people around him. With unparalleled access and intimate portraits of the workers behind our devices, Complicit is about family, the challenges faced by everyday Chinese citizens, and the young workers sacrificing everything to make the devices we cannot live without. <a href="http://www.complicitfilm.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.complicitfilm.org/</a>
