Carpet Slaves: Stolen Children Of India – A Film
April 7, 2001 ·
Cinemax’s latest Reel Life documentary, “The Carpet Slaves: Stolen Children of India”, is a film by British Filmmakers, Kate Blewett and Brian Woods that documents an extreme form of child slavery — carpet making in northern India. Carpet slaves tells the story of one man’s search for his missing son against the backdrop of intractable poverty, relentlessly expanding global trade and the heroic efforts of individuals who have dedicated themselves to eradicating child servitude and to rehabilitating its victims. Blewett and Woods had previously turned their cameras on Chinese state-run orphanages in the “Dying Rooms” and human rights abuses against children throughout the world in “Innocents Lost”.
