An Open Door programme made by the Trade Union International Research and Education Group.
Former flyweight and coalminer Dick Lewis used to be fighting fit ... now he is disabled by pneumoconeosis. Three widows in North Wales would still be happily married had their husbands not inhaled carbon disulphide at their textile mill workplace. One lagger stopped working with asbestos ten years ago thinking he had beaten ' the dust'. Today he is dying.
Yet in the Third World - in Bolivian mines, African asbestos factories - conditions are much worse and death more common, to the economic advantage of the West. This programme explores these cases and connections, and asks: Is the system fit ... or a fiddle? Narrator JOHN SHIRLEY
