About this product

Product Information

The Biggest Chinese Restaurant in the World is an observational, character-led documentary. Narrative strands will be found from the different characters that work or dine at the West Lake - the waiters, chefs and managers, the dynamic owner, the customers and the suppliers - each providing a different face of contemporary China. The West Lake, Xihulou, Restaurant in Changsha is the gargantuan and dramatic setting for this observational documentary. The restaurant is a miracle of management, organisation and efficiency. It recently catered a company banquet, serving 3,800 people simultaneously. This 5,000-seater temple to food is a symbol of the new China; a microcosm of the economic and social changes shaking up the country in the run up to the Olympics. What aspirations and hopes do the West Lake's staff have for their future? How do they spend their time when not working in the West Lake? And how are they adapting to business rather than the State providing their livelihood?
