TREE WORKERS' CASE, THE: HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Shedding light on one of the most brazen criminal enterprises to be uncovered in the E.U. in the past two decades, this film tells the story of approximately 2,000 workers-mostly from Southeast Asia, but also from Romania, the Slovak Republic, and other European countries-who were systematically exploited in the Czech Republic between 2009 and 2010. Viewers follow the efforts of lawyers and NGO members who have joined forces to investigate cases of foreign laborers being lured into menial, abusive forestry jobs. One of the workers concerned is Pham Hung Long, who, like many of his fellow Vietnamese, entered the Czech forests expecting decent pay and working conditions, only to fall into circumstances amounting to slavery. Detailed interviews with Pham, his attorneys, investigative journalists, and others are included.
