In a world of poverty, three young girls of Bangladesh trying to find meaning of life through their dreams. Slavery in modern times. Does it exist and what does it look like?

The job provides no prerequisites for neither completing schooling, nor being able to move from the conditions in the slum.

Who pays the price and is there light in this darkness?Read moreLess
