True Vision of London produced this 80-minute documentary inspired by the book Disposable People (freetheslaves.net/SSLPage.aspx?pid=364).
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. This film won the Peabody Award
in 2001.
