Turning the tide
90% of everything you own has travelled by cargo ship. When a ship reaches the end of its life, it’s usually broken up by hand — in an industry characterised by human rights abuses, deaths, economic exploitation and environmental pollution.
This award-winning film follows a safety inspector to a ship-breaking yard in Bangladesh where he endeavours to raise the standards of one of the world’s most hazardous and controversial industries.
