Shipbreakers

This documentary immerses viewers in Alang, India, one of the world's largest shipbreaking yards, where forty thousand people live and work. It reveals the harsh, primitive conditions as workers dismantle the rusting hulks of the global shipping fleet by hand. It finds striking beauty amid dangerous, gruelling labour. It is a compelling watch about work, poverty and the hidden end of the world's ships. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
