SLAVES is about Abuk, nine, and Machiek, fifteen. Like thousands of other children they were taken by government-sponsored militia in Sudan and exploited as slaves. They were later liberated by the organisation CEAWC (Committee for the Eradication of Abduction of Women and Children). Combining animation and documentary, SLAVES is based on an interview made in 2003 and part of a series of animated documentaries with and about children in difficult situations.
