OUT OF THIS WORLD

 

Rizwan, 12, adores his siblings. Life at home is full of love. But when the filthy fuel tankers arrive, he gets busy. Here, next to Pakistan’s second largest oil depot, children crawl inside the dark interior of the diesel tanks – in spite of the extremely carcinogenic fumes. OUT OF THIS WORLD follows Rizwan's thoughts and dreams, and takes us inside his hazardous workplace. Like a kid astronaut from a forsaken universe he climbs down, doing a claustrophobic job in an industry that's key to our economy, that’s using child labor in an extreme way.
