Synopsis
In the mountain city of Chongqing, where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers converge, the 'Bangbang Army' – pole-bearing laborers averaging 62 years of age – still navigate the vertical labyrinth of this metropolis with bamboo poles slung across their weathered shoulders. Through an observational lens, this film chronicles their 2025 reality as human porters, documenting how these living relics of urban logistics persist in an era when algorithms govern supply chains and drones chart delivery routes.
