"A pivotal part of the program is footage captured by an employee with a hidden camera, recording colleagues discussing the plant’s hiring of unskilled workers, drug use among employees, slipshod workmanship and inadequate inspections.

This same (anonymous) employee asks 15 of is co-workers if they would fly on the Dreamliner planes. Ten of them say they would not, with one replying “we're not building them to fly. We're building them to sell. You know what I'm saying?”

Drug use is another focal point of the documentary with allegations that marijuana, cocaine and prescription painkillers are all frequently consumed at the factory.

These safety concerns by staff in the South Carolina factory throw up some big questions about aviation safety in general."
