520    "Too poor to pay his pregnant wife's hospital bill, Vannak
       Anan Prum left his village in Cambodia to seek work in 
       Thailand. Men who appeared to be employers on a fishing 
       vessel promised to return him home after a few months at 
       sea, but instead Vannak was hostage on the vessel for four
       years of hard labor. Amid violence and cruelty, including 
       frequent beheadings, Vannak survived in large part by 
       honing his ability to tattoo his shipmates--a skill he 
       possessed despite never having been trained in art or 
       having had access to art supplies while growing up. As a 
       means of escape, Vannak and a friend jumped into the water
       and, hugging empty fish-sauce containers because they 
       could not swim, reached Malaysia in the dark of night. At 
       the harbor, they were taken into a police station . . . 
       then sold by their rescuers to work on a plantation. 
       Vannak was kept as a laborer for over a year before an NGO
       could secure his return to Cambodia. After five years away,
       Vannak was finally reunited with his family. Vannak 
       documented his ordeal in raw, colorful, detailed 
       illustrations, first created because he believed that 
       without them no one would believe his story. Indeed, very 
       little is known about what happens to the men and boys who
       end up working on fishing boats in Asia, and these images 
       are some of the first records. In regional Cambodia, many 
       families still wait for men who have disappeared across 
       the Thai border, and out to sea. The Dead Eye and the Deep
       Blue Sea is a testament to the lives of these many 
       fishermen who are trapped on boats in the Indian Ocean"--
