Cargo

CARGO is the story of a journey I made on a container ship with a group of Rumanian and Filipino sailors who were delivering cargo to the Middle East I stayed on the ship six weeks Most of the sailors werent allowed to leave the boat and they spent their days waiting singing karaoke and telling me stories in a small TV room In Syria the ports were military zones I hid at a porthole and secretly filmed the life below a man stealing wood a soldier fishing off the edge of an abandoned submarine Later I made a narrative that falls between reality and fiction It was a way of showing the limbo these men were living in
