520    Exploring the intersection of consumerism and immigration 
       in American culture, XMAS WITHOUT CHINA is an intimate 
       portrait of families wrestling with our drive to consume 
       cheap products, but also with our desire for human 
       connection and a sense of who we are in a fast-changing 
       world. Pride and mischief inspire Chinese immigrant Tom 
       Xia to challenge the Americans in his Southern California 
       suburb to celebrate Christmas without any Chinese 
       products. With deep ties to his extended family back home,
       Tom is incensed by how he considers China is misunderstood,
       particularly by the American media. But he gets more than 
       he bargains for when he meets the Joneses, a young family 
       trying to keep their children safe as a wave of Chinese 
       toy recalls forces them to have their son tested for lead 
       poisoning.  The Joneses start to give up not just toys, 
       plates, lamps, and clothes, but the beloved hair dryer, 
       coffeemaker, X-Box, and many Christmas decorations, 
       challenging the way they live everyday life and how they 
       celebrate Christmas. Meanwhile, Tom's parents are 
       constructing a new home, proudly using Chinese materials 
       to build their American dream. As they decorate for 
       Christmas for the first time and the interactions between 
       the Xias and the Joneses intensify, Tom realizes that he's
       on a deeper journey to understand the complexities of his 
       own divided loyalties between America and China.
