overview
What is Ghosts about?
Morecambe Bay, February 5th 2004, 23 lives, 23 souls. When a young girl, Ai Qin, pays $25,000 to be smuggled into the UK in order to support her family back in China, she becomes another one of 3 million migrant workers that have become the bedrock of our economy. Forced to live with eleven other Chinese people in a two bedroom house, they work in factories preparing food for British supermarkets. Risking their lives for pennies these unprotected workers end up cockling in Morcombe Bay at night. It blends drama elements. The film reflects a distinct United Kingdom style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Nick Broomfield. With a runtime of 1h 36m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
