RIPPLES was co-directed by French director Benoit Lelievre and Chinese director Jin Huaqing. The filming team went deep into the international city Yiwu in southeastern China and recorded the daily lives of four Xinjiang women from a delicate perspective. In front of the objective and calm lens, the characters present a simple and true appearance, they could represent the truest voice from Xinjiang. The film was shot at a time where some countries were boycotting the cotton from China's Xinjiang. This had a huge impact on China, and on the lives of the four protagonists who were far from home. In the face of this incident, the four women expressed their incomprehension and even dissatisfaction to their families and foreign friends.
