Description
Free, booking required
Directed by Shaheen Dil-Riaz. Running time 85 Mins
Filmmaker Shaheen Dill-Riaz spent four months at the Peace, Happiness and Prosperity Shipyard in Chittagong, Bangladesh, recording the daily lives of workers who have been driven to the coast by drought and forced into one of the most dangerous jobs on earth. His camera exquisitely captures the mind-boggling scenery of behemoth container ships washed up like whales on the muddy shore. Between the ocean liners, the workers look like ants. They slog barefoot as cable-pullers and sheet-carriers— their bodies heaving to and fro, sinking knee-deep into the mud. This dangerous work, that even no local would do, earns them 33 cents a day.
