\u201cCharles Abelmann captures on screen the intimate online bonds forged between English-language teachers and their students in China. Heartwarming and heartbreaking, English Hustle<\/i> narrates how these virtual classrooms dissolve when mainland China changes its policies to address a declining birthrate and an increasingly bitter trade war with the United States that calls into question the drive to learn English. Following teachers based in the US, Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand, the documentary explores the transnational gig economy and the geopolitics of online educational labor. It serves as an essential resource for everyone interested in how changing Chinese policies impact our networked world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The documentary was unveiled in tandem with the incisive article, \u201cAre Farm Antibiotics Destroying Our Health?\u201d authored by David Oks and published in Palladium Magazine on December 13, 2022. With supportive partnerships from Matthew Ellison and Ellen Castleberry at Winter Beach Productions, The Smallest Living Things has already made waves.<\/p>\n
