It takes courage to go undercover and stand face-to-face with a trafficker. But that’s how the women of Shramajivee Mahila Samity (SMS) track missing villagers who’ve been sold into slavery. Posing as homeowners wanting to hire a maid, SMS activists expose the shadowy world of domestic slavery. SMS finds and rescues women trapped as house slaves, alerts police to slave traffickers posing as legitimate labor recruiters, and teaches entire villages how to prevent traffickers from exploiting poor families. “I dream of a future when girls learn to think that we are not mere commodities,” says SMS activist Swapna Tripathy, “and those days are going to come.”

One of them wanted to earn money so she could treat her parents like a king and queen, two of them were enticed by the promise of a good education, another one wanted to buy medicine for his sick son–none of them ever dreamed they would become slaves in the United States. But that is what happened.

This 80-minute documentary, inspired by the book Disposable People, exposes cases of slavery. Sold only as a bundle with the book Ending Slavery
Slavery: A Global Investigation was a breakthrough film that showed, for the first time, that there was slavery in the growing of cocoa and in the chocolate we love. It was the opening overture to a great drama that changed the way that industry and anti-slavery groups work together for good. Not surprisingly it won two Emmys and the prestigious Peabody Award. Slavery: A Global Investigation brought about profound changes in the way that the chocolate supply chain is understood, and life-saving changes for children working on cocoa farms.
Today, though the film was made in 2000 and 2001, it is as fresh and compelling as when first broadcast, but it only begins the story and does not explain all the important changes that came after. For that reason Free the Slaves decided in 2008 to distribute the film only as part of a package with the book Ending Slavery: How We Free Today's Slaves - so that the whole story could be told. Chapter 7 of Ending Slavery tells the dramatic story of how this film changed the chocolate industry and helped create a new way to set slaves free, to bring business and anti-slavery groups together, and to get slavery out of the chocolate we love to eat.
This is a great film to watch while munching FairTrade chocolate!
