Human trafficking has gone on for many decades, and while significant steps have been taken to combat this serious crime and stop the injustice, thousands still fall victim to this form of exploitation. One of them was Fedelina, who lost contact with her family in the Philippines for more than four decades.
Fedelina suffered grief and fear amid the cruelty of her employers. There could still be many more Filipino victims of human trafficking out there, who continue to languish in silence for fear of their lives. The documentary aims to enlighten Filipinos about the reality of human trafficking. It also hopes to show other victims that there is a way to get out of their situation and inspire survivors that there is life after their suffering.
