SHIPBREAKERS

Shipbreakers is a visually stunning portrait of the world's largest maritime graveyard, in Alang, India. It follows the daily lives of workers and shipbreaking-yard owners who spend months toiling from dawn to dusk to methodically demolish obsolete super-structures. Migrant workers from throughout India risk life and limb to make a better living. Shipbreakers is an international story of greed, survival, Third World labour, geopolitics and environmental disaster on the shores of India.
