A Q&A with the filmmaker was recorded live on Facebook on Monday, March 21. You can watch the recording here.

Ocean Master, a decommissioned container vessel enters into a dialogue with several workers at the Gadani yards. The conversation moves between dreams, desires, places that can be called home, and the violence embedded in the act of dismantling a ship at Gadani. As the workers recall the homes and families they left behind, the long work days mesh indistinguishably into one another, and they are forced to confront the realities of their work in which they are faced with death every day. How may they survive and look towards the future?
