Synopsis
Welcome to Alang, India, the site of a gargantuan scrap yard where oceangoing ships come to die. Forty thousand Indians live and work here, dismembering and scavenging the hulks of 400 vessels every year. Shipbreakers is an extraordinary documentary that chronicles the lives of the people who work here, from the men who take apart these giant ships with their bare hands to the bosses, who ignore environmental and health concerns for fear of losing the business to other developing nations. It may be the world’s most dangerous job. One worker a day, on average, dies on the job, evaporated in explosions, crushed by falling steel, cut in half by cables or broken up from falls. Of the remainder, one in four will contract cancers caused by asbestos, PCBs and other toxic substances. Vividly capturing both the haunting beauty of the ships and the deplorable conditions of the workers, Shipbreakers is an international story of greed, survival, Third World labor, and environmental neglect.Read More »

Quote:
Harrowing, provocatively-intense and emotionally-charged documentary about the ever so fascinating but disturbing Robin Hood Hills murders case. Sharply directed and engrossingly formated with multi-dimensional angles that delve into the human psyche and makes one think liberally and often inquisitively about the way our justice system operates and the possibility of evil at liberty and innocence imprisoned!Read More »
