I AM SLAVE . directed by Gabriel Range 24.4.2011

From the award-winning team that produced Death of a President and The Last King of Scotland, I Am Slave is a controversial thriller about the slave trade in present-day London and one woman's fight for freedom. Inspired by actual events, the film begins in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, when 12-year-old Malia (Wunmi Mosaku) is snatched from the arms of her father (Isaach de Bankole) during a Muharaleen raid. When she is 18, Malia is transferred to her master's London cousin (Lubna Azabal). Stripped of her passport and living in terror of what might happen to her family, Malia is trapped in an unforgiving, alien environment. Through her eyes and this dramatic narrative, the secret plague of slavery in the 21st century lies exposed.
