The Ukrainian miners of Donbass, yesterday Sovietic Stakhanovists heroes and today illegals that crawl in tunnels about to pull down in search of coal. And in Indonesia, sometimes under the flashes of the tourists, others miners bend their back transporting baskets of sulfur. Port Harcourt, Nigeria: the slaughterhouses' employees bathe in blood to earn their life decently. In China, the siderurgy has danger, as well as in Pakistan, where the workers are quasi funambulists: at vertiginous heights they cut the container to recover the metal. If these trades had been a souvenir, as we would like, this documentary that denounce the most dangerous jobs at the beginning of century, wouldn't have been realized.
