Summary:
It is shocking to see that slavery still exists in contemporary Mauritania, even though it is outlawed on the books since 1981. It is estimated that there are 100,000 people enslaved there. This remarkable documentary, shot secretly by the production team disguised as tourists, provides the outside world's first look at this human rights abuse.
