Anti-Slavery Int´l

Outsider, London

[3.09.153]

More Info

Anti-Human Trafficking: “Closer than you think” [01:15]# This brief film presents us, in parallel strands, two everyday situations. In one, the viewer sees a British schoolgirl in uniform getting ready to go to school. She makes her bed, phones a girlfriend, and is looking forward to the party at the weekend. The second strand shows us an eastern European girl of about the same age who is changing clothes after having been forced to have sex with a man who, quite obviously, will not be the last on this particular day. Apart from their age, the two girls do not seem to have all that much in common. Yet appearances can be deceptive: they both live on the same street in a London suburb. Super: “It’s closer than you think. Human trafficking is slavery.”
