by Promises:
Contemporary Slavery in Rural Brazil
Matisse Bustos
USA ï 2007 ï 17 mins
Every year, more than 25, 000 workers are enslaved by
landowners in rural Brazil, mostly in the Amazon region. "Bound
by Promises" tells the story of men who set out in search of
work and are taken to isolated ranches in the Amazon, only to
find that they have been lured into debt bondage. Forced to
do backbreaking work and live in overcrowded shacks with no
running water, armed guards remind the workers that those who
try to run away may be killed. With no way out, they toil in
the hope of buying back their freedom.
