Slavery is alive and well on planet Earth. The international community has condemned it, and yet it flourishes—or even expands, by some reckonings, in the way of all profitable industries. This three-part series lays bare the hard truths of slavery in Europe, Africa, and Asia. From the criminal sex trade to the horrors of armed conflict, viewers encounter slaves and former slaves in France, Moldova, Uganda, India, and Cambodia. Expert guests include scholar and political dissident Noam Chomsky, Disposable People author and Free the Slaves cofounder Kevin Bales, and former World Bank chief economist Joseph Stiglitz—as well as UN authorities and human rights activists. 3-part series, 45 minutes each.
