Your Call: The hidden costs of the shipping industry

Denis Delestrac joins us to discuss his new documentary Freightened: The Real Cost of Shipping. 

Ninety percent of the things we consume are manufactured in other countries and are delivered by ship. The cargo shipping industry is a key player in the world economy, but the functioning and regulations of this business are largely unknown. Who are the biggest players? And how is this industry regulated?
