Workingman’s Death follows the trail of the heroes in the illegal mines of the Ukraine, sniffs out ghosts among the sulphur workers in Indonesia, finds itself face to face with lions at a slaughterhouse in Nigeria, mingles with brothers as they cut a huge oil tanker into pieces in Pakistan, and joins Chinese steel workers in hoping for a glorious future. Meanwhile, the future is now in Germany, where a major smelting plant of bygone days has been converted into a bright and shiny leisure park.
Is a director, writer and cinematographer and his work in each of these roles displays a broad spectrum. He not only moves back and forth between cinematic forms and genres, but also between filmmaking, photography and writing – and between gentler and more forceful tones. With Whores’ Glory he completes his trilogy on the world of work.
