you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harvey welcome to the big picture.

so. why is the pressure so low. go in there and get rid of the oil.

now my name is muhammad repeat i'm forty seven years old i dismantle old ships i've spent thirty two years of my life here. for them but. get down from there. and most workers come from the north the poorest part of bangladesh that. they got that they all yearn to come here that they consider this place to be like somewhere abroad that. you understand should go in as like a foreign country to these people. they come here to work

a ship breaking yards to make money and. the first impression of the workers here is that they are innocent. guest got a roof leak confirmed that impression. and there was another one twenty one year old. he is quiet and has an innocent smile. i've been working here for nine i know ten years i was twelve when i first came here. nobody wanted to hire me them. i brought my younger brother too. he had just finished fifth grade. no actually fourth grade he could barely write his name. this twenty thousand ton cargo ship arrived here two months ago.

today's task is dismounting the engine without damaging it. the four point seven ton engine of this ship will be sold for ten thousand dollars . we're always in danger eight hours' work means eight hours of danger. only recently we started wearing helmets used to wear just caps. a small not falling from above could kill us. fatal accidents can happen at any time because we work with heavy materials.

a ship that just finished an exhausting last trip arrives in chicago.

once it arrives the distant ship is set. more than half of the world's retired vessels dismantled. but. p.h.p. is the oldest among the more than thirty ship breaking yachts inches ago. an authorized entry is strictly prohibited.

on us. today an old ship is arriving here to be dismantled flagpoles they used to indicate a place for the vessel. i could live on the other half of them with a little. bit want to. see both of them a little money because when a ship arrives we have more work to do better and make more money. it's hard work but we are happy because we should feed ourselves. and i'm. not saying i'm going.

in. the tank i had been crossing the oceans for the past thirty two years now it will have its funeral. with. all the money. to do the. ship should be pulled as close as possible to the shore tonight during high tide otherwise the company will lose lots of money. back that are already. going on around. that.

for the past two months

a cargo ship was being dismantled and an oil tanker arrived last night both will be broken down bit by bit until nothing is left. it was you this rain is nothing get back to work you know. it's the job of the wide group unskilled laborers to pull the four ton metal chain they have from the north the poor part of bank today.

they not so fast. so. let's. cut our. money.

our lives are like this a build a oil tanker here we live and die. if you get it this is all we have. this is a ship graveyard but it could also be

a grave for living humans. in this area approximately twenty ships breakers die every year. get out of the way.

so so so. so so.

get out of there. accidents away zuko in a flash here. here is a good example of what can go wrong suddenly.

number one one of the i'm. going to be. saved you. are you near scared me to death. i didn't really saved you you could have died if you were crushed down there. already. going to hell though you've got to be strong your hardest still pounding. a little bit who do it. fulfill her going to. get any money and nobody can escape from accidents while working here. but i'm not

scared i can die today or tomorrow or the day after. often fate comes with an accident a random event shaped the destinies of both. i'll tell you i'll tell you a story. there's a huge cycle in the sixty's one morning after the cycle. was stranded on the shore. it was washed down there on

a thousands of people came to take a look at it and they wondered could there be a ghost or devil in there. they decided to dismantle and recycle it. they started to strip the ship with tools this is how we started breaking ships in bangladesh. now about twenty thousand people work at over twenty sites. the ships that came here to many people from starving. ships. that's why i love to see it. but so many people have died.

on. the furniture please come in. and. two weeks later auction is rushing to p.h.p. four to five auction is bid on each item everything from a generator to dishes. made twenty four thousand dollars today. nothing is wasted here. without these workers

hundreds of huge old vessels would have sunk into the ocean like the titanic. lead ship breaking of hundreds of recycle shops that often stretch for over two kilometers on both sides of the road it is in a way a huge recycling factory.

feel. and i looked it up properly you don't. place a migrant on our bodies i'm it will stay there do you know why. well there are iron flakes in our bodies we work with iron every day we are iron eaters our bodies have become pieces of iron themselves.

in order to survive in such a hotshot environment one must be strong. here the crows build nests out of fragments of on while. the workers here call those tough. in english on crows. this boy's eyes are full of those little boys work here to. they work to feed their hungry stomachs. and this is. this is scheifele. this is the youngest we've called him the smallest this is pothole this is beyond dolly everyone works here for their hungry stomachs. i mean the children are

starving i'm crying you don't want to welcome parents do with that children are born with nothing to. do what kind of parent really do nothing so many crazy things happen i mean some hiding themselves or others leave home poverty drives them into despair it's all because of famine. i will show you. twelve. i'm twelve. i must work no matter how difficult it is you know why when there is nothing to eat at home. yeah. why are you taking this this is mine.

i don't know how. you can go and get one. outlet where you're taking mine back now. what is the most important thing for human life. therefore the law that bans child labor doesn't make sense here. and the fact that asbestosis fatal for humans is not even an issue. who lets these boys work here they need to eat they're not old enough to work don't you see them working boys are not allowed to work. when there's nothing to eat

a tiger will eat grass. you think they like to work they come here because they have nothing to eight. criminal stop working i told you clearly i don't want to get into trouble with the boss if you keep doing it you'll be fired first and never work here again. listen they are per boys at the make some money to buy a ticket to go home. send them home now you will have to leave otherwise. and what am i supposed to do.

the youngest boy. came to chittagong three months ago following is uncle. a. most it's a fourteen year old boy came with a chromo. just to do a fifteen year old has been here for over a year. and . we get angry with the cheese that could get infected. me. sometimes you need to strip both the filth. and the god i did yesterday.

look it's clean now. oh wow that looks cool. how much did you pay for your shirt. dollar twenty. he wants a dollar twenty. i don't want to talk about it i'm hungry why i said you look cool i never have. a boy's let's go eat. and he did what was it was the menu for the night. cauliflower potato and eggs. what he bets why it costs eighty cents. does when you eat you know we eat a lot. and
