Episode 1: Commercial Fishing, Shipbreaking, Car Washes

October 02, 2015

In the first episode of Maker Stories, we talk to Steve Trent of the Environmental Justice Foundation about the abusive conditions facing fishermen in Thailand who produce many of the most common seafood products. Also, where do ships go after their working life is over? Patrizia Heidegger of the Belgian NGO Shipbreaking Platform talks about the workers that turn these ships to scrap. Finally, Rosemarie Molina talks about how life for Los Angeles car wash workers isn't as spotless as many think.
