Deadweight

That does not refer to Pacquiao now but a German-Finnish indie film featured in the Berlinale Film Festival. Interestingly, it was about a sailor who led a strike on board a container ship. While the lead star was actor Archie Alemania, the other crewmen were actual seafarers. Filming all throughout the voyage, Archie experienced their woes, like areas on ship off-limits to them. (Bayani San Diego Jr.'s Inquirer article, A seaman's life for Archie)

Just like a mediator who vicariously experiences life's misfortunes as relayed by disputants.
