**Intriguing Prose Introduction**
Rusted giants lie in wait along the shores of Chittagong, their once-proud hulls torn open like creatures from a distant, prehistoric era. At first glance, it’s mesmerizing—a place where steel behemoths are dismantled by men in simple lungis, often with bare feet and sparse protective gear. Sparks fly under the blistering sun as colossal sections of metal are peeled away, leaving behind twisted skeletons, a monument to human perseverance and danger alike.
Beneath the spectacle, however, lurks a darker reality. Toxic fluids bleed into the surrounding waters, staining beaches and rivers with oily rainbows. The echo of hammer blows is underscored by groans and shouts—warning calls in a lethal maze of heavy steel. Injuries are commonplace; lives too often cut short. The clamor of a shifting hull can turn, in a heartbeat, into another tragedy, another name lost in the statistics.
Yet what draws me back again and again is the raw testament to human grit. You see men who earn their survival with each slice of the cutting torch, men who walk narrow beams a hundred feet above the sand, bravely wrestling the remains of these ocean leviathans into submission. It is this mix of awe and heartbreak that fuels my film. You witness transformations—vessels once crossing oceans, now broken down into a million shards and sold off piece by piece.
**If you want a glimpse behind the iron curtains of these ship graveyards—where breathtaking courage meets environmental peril—join me on this journey. In my film, you’ll see the collision of enterprise and desperation, a riveting paradox of human endurance and ecological cost. Come discover the stories etched into these relics, and decide for yourself what survives when the giants finally fall.**
