There's a good documentary about Chinese infrastructure work in Africa called "Empire of Dust" which can be found on YouTube and similar sites.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2148945/

It appears to be popular with racists (at least going by the YouTube comments) because the middle-class Chinese engineers are needing to cope with very poor tribal workers who are not quite on board with the concept of the 9-5 culture but I felt the film itself humanised all sides and I was particularly touched by one scene where the engineers try to decide what to do about a worker who has damaged some bit of equipment that he wouldn't be able to afford to repair.

Generally made me feel good about the future of humanity.
