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"-- Provided by publisher. 600 10 Vannak, Prum. 650 0 Human trafficking|zThailand. 650 0 Fisheries|xCorrupt practices. 650 0 Human trafficking|zMalaysia. 650 0 Tattoo artists|zCambodia|vBiography. 650 0 Plantation workers|zMalaysia|zSibu (Sarawak)|vBiography. 650 0 Fishers|zCambodia|vBiography. 650 0 Slave labor|zMalaysia. 650 0 Enslaved persons|vBiography. 650 0 Enslaved persons.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01120522 650 0 Slave labor|zThailand. 650 7 Tattoo artists.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01143548 650 7 Fishers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00926174 650 7 Slave labor.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01120393 650 7 Plantation workers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01065796 650 7 Human trafficking.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01739818 651 7 Cambodia.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01207659 651 7 Thailand.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01205310 651 7 Malaysia.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204590 651 7 Malaysia|zSibu (Sarawak)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01280177 655 0 Graphic novels. 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 700 1 Pederick, Ben,|eauthor. 700 1 Pederick, Jocelyn,|eauthor. 700 1 Sophorn, Lim,|etranslator. 994 C0|bCKE
