Polar Star Films - Freightened the Real Price of Shipping (2016)

In an audacious investigation, Freightened will reveal the mechanics and perils of freight shipment; an all-but-visible industry that holds the key to our economy, our environment and the very model of our civilisation. Every day the seas are crossed by freighters many times larger than the Titanic, shipping tens of thousands of tons of cargo in containers. Who actually pays the hidden costs associated with the movement of goods? Who is responsible for the environmental disaster caused by frequent accidents, and who allows the exploitation of cheap labour? The investigation uncovers the shocking aspects of the shipping industry and casts a dark light on one of the cornerstones of globalisation.
