This documentary tells the story of silicosis patients who became sick with the disease from their work in jean sandblasting. After remaining silent for 10 years, their current situation as well as the poor working conditions that led to their conditions are brought to audiences in this surprising film.


The struggle of sandblasting workers started with the death of Kenan Temiz in 2004 from silicosis. Sandblasting workshops in Turkey were closed and other sufferers were retired due to disability. It’s not known how many workers were working in jean sandblasting, but their sicknesses and deaths due to silicosis continue.
