True Vision of
London produced this 80-minute documentary, inspired by Free the Slaves
President Kevin Bales' award-winning book Disposable People, exposes
cases of slavery around the world. Watch more documentary films on
slavery here: http://www.freetheslaves.net/films/all
Filmmakers Brian Edwards and Kate Blewett actually buy slaves in Africa
and help free child slaves in India. The film exposes slavery in the
rug-making sector of Northwest India, the cocoa plantations in the Ivory
Coast, and even the home of a World Bank official in Washington, D.C.
Small, personal stories of slavery are woven together to tell the larger
story of slavery in the global economy.
Slavery won the Peabody Award in 2001.
