Shenzhen: The Silicon Valley of Hardware
Shenzhen: The Silicon Valley of Hardware is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 2016, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
We examine the unique manufacturing ecosystem that has emerged, gaining access to the world’s leading hardware-prototyping culture whilst challenging misconceptions from the west. The film looks at how the evolution of “Shanzhai” – or copycat manufacturing – has transformed traditional models of business, distribution and innovation, and asks what the rest of the world can learn from this so-called “Silicon Valley of hardware".
