BBC Africa Eye investigates how a Chinese video-making industry exploits African children.

BBC Africa Eye investigates how a Chinese video-making industry is exploiting African children to produce racist videos.

In February 2020 a shocking video began to circulate on Chinese social media. A group of young African children are being instructed, by a voice off-camera, to chant phrases in Chinese. The kids repeat the words with smiles and enthusiasm - but they don't understand that what they're being told to say is "I am a black monster and my IQ is low."
 
The clip ignited outrage in China and beyond. But no-one ever answered the crucial questions: Why was this filmed? Where was it shot? Who made it? 
 
These questions send BBC Africa Eye reporters Runako Celina and Henry Mhango on a journey into a Chinese video-making industry that exploits vulnerable children across the continent.
 
With the help of a Chinese undercover journalist, they reveal the inner workings of a filmmaking operation, explore the racism that runs through the industry, and confront one racist video-producer who has repeatedly exploited children for profit.
