“The Shipbreakers“ offers a compelling glimpse into the challenging reality of a shipbreaking yard in Bangladesh. Amidst a backdrop of industrial decay, several men toil diligently, cutting steel with a torch, as giant ships, deemed obsolete by corporate entities, meet their end and transform into scrap steel. The harsh working conditions and the workers' impoverished circumstances are powerfully conveyed. One worker shields himself from the unforgiving sun with an umbrella, symbolizing both the resilience and vulnerability of these laborers.
