In a brick kiln filled with orange smoke and dust in Bangladesh, a group of young and strong men are carrying bricks to make money. They carry heavy bricks on their heads, move flexibly, and repeatedly transport them to pile them into mountains, waiting to be distributed to various places. The dust from the bricks flew everywhere, and the workers did not wear protective masks. They inhaled a large amount of dust into their lungs every day, which accumulated over time and caused severe physical injuries. The average life expectancy of bricklayers is only about 50 years.
