Synopsis

Everyday some 20,000 people in Chittagong, a small port city of southern Bangladesh risk their lives for 2 dollars. They dismantle retired old ships from all over the world. An average of 20 workers die in Chittagong every year. Despite the harsh working environment full of contaminants and toxic gases, the ships are considered gifts from God. We hear heart-breaking stories from three very different points of view, twenty-one year old Belal, older skilled worker Rufik and twelve year old child laborer Ekramul.
