In this film showcasing six of the most dangerous jobs on the planet, director Michael Glawogger travels the globe to turn his lens on the men who labor in these deadly, but necessary jobs day after day. Structured in six chapters that take the viewer everywhere from the Ukraine, where workers snake down a 16-inch tall mineshaft to collect coal, to Pakistan, where people disassemble oil tankers piece-by-piece with their bare hands, Glawogger’s film focuses on the ravages of manual labor on the human body and the determination of the men who endure these tasks to build a better future for their children and families.
