Abducted and Sold - Slave Labour in Russia

Russia is making great financial progress. The economy is booming. But in the shadow of all the wealth emerged a black market economy and with it a big problem: labour exploitation.

In the Russian federation, over one million people are working under conditions akin to slavery. These people are caught and delivered to desolate corners of Europe, threatened with bodily harm and are forced to work without pay. The film tells the tragic personal stories of the people living without hope and freedom.
