Slavery Today
People tend to believe that we had slaves at one point and that we fought a civil war over the issue and
the “free the slaves” side “won the war” and therefore there are no more slaves.
Actually the number of slaves in the world has never been higher in absolute number, estimated as 27
million worldwide.
Subject: Two more "slave" movies
MOVIE: The Price of Sugar
Sugar Cane’s Bitter Harvest in the Dominican Republic
“The Price of Sugar” is a muckraking documentary about Haitians lured into a form of indentured
servitude on sugar plantations in the Dominican Republic.
MOVIE: Trade
An eagerly prurient dip into the sex-trafficking trough, “Trade” teeters between earnest exposé and
salacious melodrama.
These jobs are being given to slaves when robots could do them.
