Maraa and Doccentre (CED)


invite you to the screening of the following film

Eisenfresser [Ironeaters] (85')
Bangladesh 2007; Dir: Shaheen Dill-Riaz

Synopsis:
The annual famine in northern Bangladesh forces two farmers, Kholil
and Gadu, along with several of their relatives, to leave their homes
and go to work as seasonal labourers in the ship-breaking yards far to
the south. Here, on the beaches of Chittagong, they dismantle the
discards of the Western world: decrepit oil tankers and enormous
container ships, many of which harbour a vast range of perils, toxic
and otherwise. These yards also capture their workers, as the seasonal
workers who do the most dangerous work are also forced into an endless
cycle of debt.
