S1.E2 ∙ The Factory

January 2010, Rosarno, Calabria. Widely publicized immigrant riots exposed the unjust and squalid conditions that thousands of African laborers, exploited by an economy controlled by 'Ndrangheta, the calabrian mafia, endure on a daily basis. For a brief moment the immigrants caught the attention of the Italian public, who responded to these protests with fear and violence. In a few hours the immigrants in question were "evacuated" from Rosarno and the problem was "resolved." But the faces and the stories of those involved in the riots at Rosarno tell a different story. Revealing these stories and giving them voice is the only way we can return to these memories: memories of those days of violence, memories of a not-so-distant history of rural poverty in Rosarno that is often overlooked.

A windswept stretch of creek side, echoing to marsh birds' calls and the thud of shipwrights' hammers, Standard Quay is straight from Charles Dickens. To the right eyes, this scruffy working wharf is a vision of living history. Skilled craftsmen have built and repaired wooden ships here for centuries and in recent years the quay has become a haven for the few dozen surviving Thames sailing barges. But Standard Quay's property developer owner plans to build houses and restaurants on the site. This is the story of its final year as a working shipyard.
