I Am Slave
Based on Mende Nazer's real-life experiences, Malia, the twelve-year-old daughter of champion wrestler Bah, is kidnapped from her Sudanese town in the Nubar Mountains and sold into slavery by pro-government Arab militia in Khartoum. She is transported to London after six years and has her identity changed, but her horrible life of servitude continues. Her passport is stolen, and she is told that reporting her is fatal. A kind person appears to offer her hope of escape and reunion with Bah in Sudan. Despite the film's optimism, the final credits say that there are 5,000 "slave" labourers in Britain.
