This was the first in a series of videos I led production of for the American Sociological Association.

This film explores the lives of children who, due to economic depravity, are forced to leave their families and abandon their education to work as indentured servants. Child slaves make up about 10 percent of the youth population in Haiti. Driven out of economic depravity, many parents are sending their children to live with others and serve as indentured servants in order to secure their survival. In a short documentary, I reported on the lives of these young children as they are forced to leave their families, sacrifice their education and spend their days working as child slaves.
