Gach là, tha fichead mìle duine ann an Chittagong, port beag ann an ceann a deas Bangladesh a' cur am beatha ann an cunnart airson dà dholair a-mhàin. Tha iad a' toirt seann shoithichean bho air feadh an t-saoghail as a chèile. Tha faisg air fichead luchd-obrach a' bàsachadh ann an Chittagong gach bliadhna agus a dh' aindeoin àrainneachd-obrach chruaidh làn truailleadh agus gasaichean cunnartach, 's e gibhtean bho Dia a th' anns na soithichean. Tha Belal, a tha bliadhna thar fhichead agus a dh' fhàg a dhachaigh bho chionn deich bliadhna, an neach-obrach sgileil Rufik a tha air còrr air deich thar fhichead bliadhna a chur seachad ann an Chittagong agus Ekramul, nach eil ach dusan bliadhna a dh' aois ag innse sgeulachd thiamhaidh mu am beatha.

Every day about 20,000 people in Chittagong, a small port city in southern Bangladesh, risk their lives for just two dollars. They dismantle retired old ships from all over the world. An average of 20 workers dies in Chittagong every year. Twenty-one-year-old Belal, who left home 10 years ago; skilled worker Rufik; and child laborer Ekramul tell the heart breaking story of their lives.
