Diamonds for English
Video
2017
In Diamonds for English, Fleming teaches Chinese children to speak English online from her home in Buffalo, New York. Although traditional jobs may no longer be available in Rust Belt cities, a new global market allows for the possibility of Chinese families to fund residences throughout the United States. Working odd hours, she is able to maintain her job and home as long as she meets the standards of anonymous parents and bosses, and, most importantly, keeps children eager to communicate with an endless stream of animated diamonds, crowns, and trophies as rewards.
