Chinese companies enjoy doing business in the exotic, remote Madagascar. There is a lot to be gained, because the country is rich in natural resources. And because the population is poor, labor is cheap.

Inland, Ruben sees entire families working on Chinese cotton plantations under a scorching sun. And he meets a Chinese cotton boss, whose investment went horribly wrong.
