"The fishing companies don't like that we know their secrets." Abramorama has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary titled Ghost Fleet, from co-directors Shannon Service & Jeffrey Waldron. Every year, tens of thousands of untraceable Thai fishing boats ply the sea. Captains buy slave crew and force them to work for years on end to put fish on American plates. They are ghost men on ghost ships. The film follows an activist in Bangkok named Patima Tungpuchayakul, who fights to free these men and bring them home. This doc presents the story of how a few men--a farmer, a motorcycle mechanic, a construction worker--escaped. This premiered at the Telluride & Toronto Film Festivals last year, and is getting a release this summer. We actually posted a promo trailer for this doc four years ago, but it took them another three years to finish it and debut at festivals. We've been looking forward to seeing this ever since and looks like it's worth the wait. ›››
