Event
Servant or Slave w/ Walk With Me - 12th Annual Harlem International Film Festival
SERVANT OR SLAVE
Director: Steven McGregor
Australia, 58min
Servant or Slave follows the lives of four Aboriginal women who were stolen from their families and trained to be domestic servants, and later forced into slave labor, to discover that even today they have had to fight for recognition, respect and reparation for their treatment in the past.
Bringing to light the heartbreaking experiences of Rita, Violet, Adelaide and Valerie, SERVANT OR SLAVE is a film of courage, strength and the fortitude to pursue justice for the crimes committed against them after being stolen from their families, trained to be domestic servants and forced into indentured labor. Theirs is a David and Goliath battle, not only for personal retribution, but also for the next generation of Aboriginal people to come.
