Shipbreakers plot

"A Ship a Day, A Death a Day"

The documentary shows a bustling Indian slum where 40,000 people live and work in the most primitive conditions. When the discarded hulls of the world's largest ships break down, workers have no protection from injury or death. On average, one worker dies every day, some from explosions or falls, but many from cancer caused by asbestos, PCBs and other toxic substances.
