Event Description
With Director
At an industrial port in India, laborers of different regions, dialects and religions come together to work and dwell amongst chaotic conditions – all in the name of making a living. Teamwork plays a crucial role at the shipbreaking yard. Cutting apart a ship is “like an art,” one worker claims. Surrounded by toxic waste, loud noise, poor sanitation and the constant threat of falling metal, underpaid laborers still maintain a unique air of optimism. This beautiful and eye-opening film asks critical questions about globalization and labor.
