"Sea blindness" refers to the shroud of secrecy that allows hugely lucrative shipping companies to shirk labour, ecological and ethical responsibilities. As trade globalises, so too do goods and services – at an alarming cost. Director Denis Delestrac exposes the devastating effects of freight shipping and suggests workable solutions that prioritise consumer awareness as well as commercial accountability.
