I Am Slave
Psychological thriller about slavery, terror and displacement in today’s London. Malia cares for the home and children of an Arab family in London. The mother of the house threatens to kill her family if she runs away or speaks to anyone. In Sudan her family is royalty, in London she is less than nothing. I am Slave is a cover-your-eyes-exciting psychological thriller about how fear can hold a person captive even without chains. Malia’s captors rely on her isolation from the outside world, and when the family driver offers a glimpse of it, an escape plan takes shape – as simple as it would previously have been unthinkable… swa
Suitable for persons 15 years and older.
