Overview

For this project, Bak went to northern Morocco to meet women working as shrimp peelers for a Dutch company. The shrimp are fished in the Netherlands, transported in refrigerated trucks to be prepared in Tetouan and then sent back to their starting point for marketing. "Boussa from the Netherlands" shows the women, a source of cheap labour for the multinationals, paid on a piecework basis, carrying out their activity in deplorable conditions, without any social protection.
