“A Life In Chains” is a video documentary on human trafficking and prostitution in Bangladesh.
Directed by Manuel Marano and Federica Vairani, the movie focuses on victims’ stories, their struggle to survive and their relationship with Bangladesh society.
The film draws attention to the difficult situations these women must deal on a daily basis and who have become trapped in a vicious cycle of prostitution.
While they have been condemned throughout their lives and suffer quietly through the contradictions of society, this documentary hopes to reveal and share with the world the humanity that exists in each of these people.
“A Life in Chains” is available at this link with Italian and English subtitles.
Directors Manuel Marano and Federica Vairani
