Why is everything you own made somewhere else?
Our first film follows a steel box, a trucker who was tired of waiting, and the dockworkers who paid the price.
Every film comes with the story, and every claim with its source.
“In 1970, London still had 16,573 registered dockworkers. By 1989, 1,739 were left.”
