Over 28 million men, women and children live in slavery around the world. To Free the Slaves looks at ordinary men and women in four different countries who are determined to bring an end to the suffering of the weak caused by the economic concerns of the powerful.

An ordinary Canadian couple redeem slaves caught up in a brutal civil war in Sudan. In Mali, Save the Children Canada reunites young people with their families after they have been kidnapped and forced into slave labour in the Cote d’Ivoire. In Canada, ex-prostitute Cherry Kingsley helps young people enslaved in prostitution re-integrate into society. And in the brickyards of India, the Pandits free and rehabilitate slaves from bonded labour and re-educate the slave-owners.
