Why Slavery?

Selling Children

Duration: 50 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS EuropeLatest broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS North America

In this film we follow the lives of children in India, denied a childhood and education, to be sold to work in mica mines, tea plantations, and as domestic helpers. Their story, traced back to their families, exposes how poverty and a deep lack of knowledge about the meaning of slavery results in the selling of children.
