Sumario:This article reports on the controversy surrounding the deaths of several Chinese cockle-pickers in the United Kingdom. Nick Broomfield produced a film, "Ghosts," about it, and at some of the showings has asked the audience to contribute to a fund to help the families pay off the trafficking debts of the dead. Min-Quan, the British-Chinese support organization, has tried to lobby to help provide remuneration for the families, which the government has yet to address.
