Bonne à vendre

2006 - 52 min - Digital vidéo - Couleur - France, Belgique, Liban

To flee from their country’s extreme poverty and provide for their family’s survival, women from Sri-Lanka leave their country to work as servants in the Middle East, and particularly in Lebanon.
Most of the time these maids find themselves in situations worse than back home, deprived of their passports, locked up in houses, working for countless hours
Once there some of them choose to run away, others follow the path to suicide.
