On His Mission to End Child Labour and Slavery

New Delhi, 28 November 2018: Award-winning documentary – The Price of

Free – featuring a slice from the life and work of Nobel Peace Laureate

Kailash Satyarthi to end child slavery has been globally released on

YouTube. The 93-minute documentary shows bone-chilling, daredevil,

secret raid-and-rescue operations, keeping audiences on the edge of their

seats. Kailash Satyarthi’s noble mission and selfless work, captured on film,

exposes the plight of young children who are trafficked for forced labour.

The film also apprises audiences of the grave threats and attacks that Mr.

Satyarthi and his colleagues have endured over the past four decades in an

endeavour to rescue and restore childhood.

The film shows LIVE raid operations led by Kailash Satyarthi, showing the

relentless work of Bachpan Bachao Andolan – a movement on the forefront

of protecting the rights of the most marginalized children. Shot in

sweatshops operating out of narrow lanes and dark asphyxiating dungeons

the film captures some of the most deplorable working conditions in India in

an attempt to show the magnitude of the burgeoning child slavery issue that

affects both developing and developed countries alike.

Mr Satyarthi states, “The film is a humble tribute to my colleagues

Dhoomdas, Adarsh Kishore and Kalu Kumar, who sacrificed their lives in the

line of duty without demur, selflessly fighting for children’s rights till their

last breath. I call upon everyone to watch this film and work with us in

creating a world where all children are free, healthy, safe and educated.”

The film’s celebrated director Derek Doneen, who shot the film over the last

two years, says, “I was shocked to read about around the world.

Premiering at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, the film won the US

Documentary Grand Jury Prize and is co-produced and co-financed by

Participant Media and Concordia Studio.
