"The video shows how caste systems and other archaic traditions have perpetuated slavery in some poor countries, and points to the complacency of wealthier nations regarding this ongoing tragedy. Highlighting the work of Nigerian ant-slavery activists, including the imprisoned Ilguila Weila of the human rights group Timidria, the video also features commentary from Amnesty International USA Executive Director William Schulz, who emphasizes the need for more action from the Western world."--Videodisc container.
