Plot Synopsis
The title GHOSTS refers to the term the Chinese use to describe white westerners, but it could also be a reference to the legions of poorly paid, and unprotected non-British workers labouring in slave conditions within the food industry which many would remain invisible.
Nick Broomfield's second fiction feature directly addresses this other side of Britain we chose not to see and explores the exploitation and circumstances behind the daily lives of these workers who prepare our food for UK supermarkets and restaurants that culminates in the tragedy of Morecambe Bay, when 21 Chinese workers lost their lives in February 2004
