This Stop, Macau is a short film (19 min) that gives a brief glimpse into the lives of non-local Chinese students living and studying in Macao, China SAR. From student activities to part time jobs in Macao’s Casino industry, these students reflect on their experiences and encounters with the Macao community.

The filmmakers’ technique is not one of exhaustive documentary or investigative journalism; rather it is a studied reflection that matches with the thoughtful, questioning attitude of their subjects. The sometimes contradictory comments and attitudes of these university students embody the difficulties and pleasures of studying in a new city and culture.
