An encounter with people living under extremely restricted conditions, in Mexico, Russia, Brazil<br />

and Oslo. The film is also a critical investigation of the negative consequences of neoliberal economical<br />

politics. The project examines the claim that it's in the interest of certain economical and<br />

social forces to preserve modern slavery, and that these forces are supported by corrupt authorities<br />

and indirect participation by multinational companies.<br />

– With a powerful political message and intense human portrayals, this may turn out to be<br />

an important political film from two of our most distinguished documentary film makers.<br />

Thomas Robsahm (1964) made his debut in front of the camera already as an<br />

8-year-old in the film Five Days in August by Svend Wam, and had several roles<br />

in Wam & Vennerød films. He worked as script supervisor, assistant director,<br />

assistant editor, production collaborator and launch consultant until his debut<br />

as director in 1987. Since then, he has made a number of short films, documentaries<br />

for cinema and TV, before his feature film debut in 1992 with the film<br />

Rebels with a Cause. In 1995, Robsahm founded the company Speranza Film,<br />

and since then he has worked as both producer and director.<br />
