Director Rahul Jain presents an intimate, observantly portrayal of the rhythm of life and work in a gigantic textile factory in Gujarat, India. Moving through the corridors and bowels of the enormous and disorientating structure, the camera takes the viewer on a journey to a place of dehumanising physical labor and intense hardship, provoking cause for thought about persistent pre-industrial working conditions and the huge divide between first world and developing countries. ...

Full Plot Details

Director Rahul Jain presents an intimate, observantly portrayal of the rhythm of life and work in a gigantic textile factory in Gujarat, India. Moving through the corridors and bowels of the enormous and disorientating structure, the camera takes the viewer on a journey to a place of dehumanising physical labor and intense hardship, provoking cause for thought about persistent pre-industrial working conditions and the huge divide between first world and developing countries. Since the 1960s the area of Sachin in western India has undergone unprecedented, unregulated industrialisation, exemplified in its numerous textile factories. MACHINES portraits only one of these factories, while at the same time representing the thousands of labourers working, living and suffering in an environment they can't escape without unity. With strong visual language, memorable images and carefully selected interviews of the workers themselves, Jain tells a story of inequality and oppression, humans and machines.

Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 10/10 by Aaron HillisMachines proves both uncompromising and unforgettable.
Observer (UK) - 10/10 by Simran HansThe film's gliding, forward-moving form proves a chilling juxtaposition with the stasis of the workers and their stagnant socioeconomic status.
Variety - 9/10 by Guy LodgeThis simultaneously beautiful and abjectly unhappy film is forced to close by silently admitting its limitations.
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Bruce DemaraThis is not an easy film to watch but it is an important one.
Film-Forward.com - 9/10 by Nora Lee MandelUnusually and outstandingly filmed documentary is also a stirring socio-economic condemnation...Distills how one...mill reveals impacts of globalization and climate change.
Counterpunch.org - 8/10 by Louis ProyectIn 25 years of reviewing documentaries, this is the most powerful work on labor exploitation I have ever seen. It brings Marxist theory to life with a remarkable compassion. Brilliant in all respects.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Kenji FujishimaRahul Jain’s film conveys with revelatory force the mechanization of people in an industrialized milieu.
New York Times - 8/10 by Ben KenigsbergThe ideological charge leveled for decades at this strain of filmmaking is that such eye-catching tableaus romanticize poverty, but prettified squalor has become sadly familiar in global documentary filmmaking. In Machines, even at barely more than an hour, the style leads to diminishing returns.
NYC Movie Guru - 8/10 by Avi OfferA heartbreaking, enraging and eye-opening experience, but limited in scope.
The Nation - 8/10 by Stuart KlawansAn exceptional first feature, combining impeccably assured image-making, deep empathy, and a muckraking spirit. . .
