| The sugar
babies focuses on the contemporary abuse
of human rights for haitian child workers
and their families lured to and exploited
by the US operated sugar industry of the
dominican republic. interviews with the children,
activists, government and corporate persons
tell the story of modern era slavery supported
by the governments of the US, Haiti and the
DR...death, despair, and poverty are the
by-products of human trafficking that occurs
steadily and knowingly by agencies and businesses.
begun centuries ago, the enslavement of 30-40,000
annually continues through 2005-7, when this
film was completed.
