London-based Taiwanese director/animator Szu-Yu Hou: “This film is produced as part of a research project looking at the impact of Covid-19 on the most vulnerable communities, including migrant workers and survivors of trafficking.

“The project is conducted by Humanity Research Consultancy (HRC) with the COVID Collective Research Platform. COVID Collective is supported by the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and coordinated by the Institute of Development Studies (IDS).

“Legal and economic actions were eventually taken against the Vanuatu-flagged, Taiwanese-operated vessel in this film by both the Taiwanese government and the US Customs and Border Protection.”
