Slavery: A 21st Century Evil - from Al-jazeera
http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/slaverya21stcenturyevil/

>>Today, 27 million men, women and children are held, sold and trafficked as slaves throughout the world. In Slavery: A 21st Century Evil, Rageh Omaar embarks on a worldwide journey to uncover the truth about the flourishing 21st century slave trade. Episode by episode, his investigation will expose the brutal reality of modern slavery and unpick the reasons why this age-old evil persists.<<

This is a series of video reports, fyi.

There are few things that make me angrier than slavery. This series looks at all the different kinds of slavery that exist today.

1. That won't include the millions
who unwittingly sell themselves into slavery. So many try so hard to do their consumer duty here in the US they go far into debt, or at least extend themselves so far financially that they have no choice but to work as much as possible to pay for it. For many life is simply about paying for all their obligations.
