0:19Today again, no food on the table. My
0:23stomach is burning. I wish dad was still
0:26here to take care of us.
0:32Helen, I can't study like this. The
0:35teacher sent me home again. He said no
0:38fees, no school.
0:42I was sent home, too. Mama said we
0:46should just stay here now. No more
0:48school, no more dreams.
0:54>> But why us? Other children go to school,
0:58they eat, they laugh. Why are we always
1:00the ones suffering?
1:05>> Because life is unfair to us. But we
1:08must keep going. One day, I'll change
1:12this. I'll make sure we don't stay
1:14hungry again.
1:28At least today we have something. This
1:30flower will last 3 days. After that, God
1:34will provide.
1:38>> Mama, I promise one day I'll work hard.
1:42I'll take you to a better life. We won't
1:44beg for food again.
1:50My brave daughter, you carry too much
1:52for your age. But remember, even in this
1:55pain, God sees us.
2:14Helen, my little girl, come closer.
2:20Papa, please don't talk like this.
2:23You'll get better. I'll bring you
2:25medicine.
2:29Medicine is costly. And we don't even
2:32have food. But you, you are stronger
2:35than me. Promise me, Helen. Promise me
2:38you'll take care of your mother and
2:40brother.
2:44>> Papa, no. Don't leave us. I need you. I
2:50can't do this without you.
3:17Papa, please stay. Who will pay our
3:20school fees? Who will protect us?
3:28Life is cruel, my children. But don't
3:30give up. Even if the world forgets you,
3:33God won't. Hold each other. Stay strong
3:36together.
3:47God, please don't take him. Not now. Not
3:50when we have nothing.
4:05Papa.
4:06Papa, please wake up. Don't go.
4:14>> He's gone. Papa is gone.
4:24>> Mama, why is Papa going into the ground?
4:28Won't he come back?
4:33>> He's gone, my child. We must accept it.
4:36But his spirit will always be with us.
4:42>> I don't want papa to leave us. Who will
4:44play with me now?
4:50Sh. Papa is resting. We have to be
4:53strong now for him.
5:07[Music]
5:15Mama, are you okay? You don't eat
5:18anymore.
5:22>> My heart is heavy, Helen. Without your
5:25father, I feel lost. And there is no
5:28food, no money. I fear for both of you.
5:34>> Mama, I'm hungry. Can we at least boil
5:37water?
5:41>> Mama, you're sick. We need to go to the
5:45hospital.
5:48>> Hospital costs money we don't have.
5:53>> I don't care, mama. I'll find a way. You
5:58can't leave us too.
6:09>> Helen, are you still here?
6:14>> Mama, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay
6:17with you always.
6:19Please don't talk like this. You'll be
6:21fine.
6:26My daughter, you are only a child, but
6:29you carry the weight of a woman. You've
6:31been mother and sister to everyone. I
6:34worry for you.
6:38Don't worry about me, mama. Just get
6:41better. I can't lose you, too. Not after
6:45papa.
6:57Mama, when you come home, will you cook
6:59my favorite meal again?
7:03Of course. When I get better, I'll make
7:05it for you myself. But if if I don't,
7:09Helen will take care of you. Promise me
7:11you'll listen to her.
7:15>> No, Mama, don't say that. Please don't
7:19leave us.
7:23Mama, please fight.
7:26Stay with us. I can't do this without
7:29you. I'm only a girl. I don't know how
7:33to survive.
7:38Be strong, Helen. Life will be cruel,
7:40but don't lose your faith. Protect your
7:43brother. And remember, God is watching
7:45you.
7:49Mama.
7:51Mama, please don't leave us.
7:57Helen, she's gone. She left us.
8:12[Music]
8:23Helen, papa is gone now. Mama too. Who
8:27will take care of us? What will happen
8:30to us?
8:34Don't be afraid. I am here. I won't let
8:39anything happened to you. You are not
8:42alone.
8:43I am your mother now. I am your father
8:45now.
8:51>> But you're just like me, a child. How
8:54will you feed us?
8:58I don't know how yet, but I will. Even
9:02if I must work day and night, I will not
9:05let you go hungry. Trust me, little one.
9:26Sir, please. I can clean. I can cook.
9:30Anything. Just give me a chance to work.
9:37>> We don't take girls your age. Go home.
9:47>> Please, madam. I just lost my mother. I
9:52need to take care of my brother. I can
9:55do anything.
10:00Sorry, we already have enough workers.
10:11Please,
10:12I just need one chance. I will work
10:16hard, harder than anyone.
10:21You look desperate. Do you really think
10:24you can handle this? It's long hours,
10:26small pay.
10:30I don't care about the pay. I just need
10:33to feed my brother.
10:35Please trust me once.
10:42>> Fine. Start tomorrow morning. Don't be
10:45late.
10:54Yes, I got the job. From tomorrow, I'll
10:59start working in a hotel. Our days of
11:02hunger will soon end.
11:08Really? Oh, Helen, I knew you'd do it.
11:16And listen, tomorrow I'll take you for
11:18school admission. No matter how hard I
11:21work, I'll make sure you study. Mama and
11:24Papa's dream will live through you.
11:30>> You mean I'll go to school again?
11:37Yes.
11:39From tomorrow you begin your future.
11:52>> Helen, what if they don't take me back?
11:55What if they ask for money we don't
11:57have?
12:02>> Don't worry.
12:03I'll handle it. Just remember, you
12:06belong here as much as any child.
12:12Sir, this is my brother. He had to stop
12:16school after our parents passed away,
12:18but now I'm working. I want him back in
12:22class.
12:25>> Education is not free, young lady. There
12:28are fees, uniforms, books. Can you
12:31manage all that?
12:36>> I will. Even if I eat nothing, I'll pay.
12:40Just give him a chance.
12:46Very well. Bring the first installment
12:48tomorrow. We'll let him start again.
12:54Helen, I'll study so hard. I'll make you
12:57proud. I promise.
13:04That's all I want. Just don't give up.
13:07No matter how hard life gets
13:32You work well. Keep this up and you'll
13:35last here.
13:38For him, I can endure anything.
13:55[Music]
14:18This is just the beginning.
14:30Sit, please.
14:33Madam, may I speak to you for a moment?
14:38>> What is it, Helen?
14:42>> Madam, I know I've just started working
14:44here, but I need help. My brother's
14:48school fees are due tomorrow
14:51at home. We don't even have food left.
14:54Please, if you could give me a small
14:56advance from my salary, I promise I'll
14:58work harder, even overtime.
15:04in advance. You're new here. Why should
15:07I trust that you won't just run away
15:08with the money?
15:11Because I have nowhere else to go. This
15:14job is my lifeline.
15:16My little brother depends on me. I swear
15:20I won't betray your trust. I'll earn
15:23every coin back with my sweat.
15:29All right. But this is not how we
15:31usually work. Don't make it a habit.
15:36>> Thank you, madam. You don't know what
15:39this means to me. I won't forget this
15:42kindness.
15:46>> Enough. Go home. Be here on time
15:50tomorrow.
15:53>> At least tonight we'll eat and tomorrow
15:56my brother will go to school.
16:08Helen, you barely sleep. Aren't you
16:11afraid you'll collapse one day?
16:16>> I'll rest when my brother graduates.
16:19Until then, no stopping.
16:24Careful. Break that and it'll come from
16:26your salary.
16:31Every coin counts.
16:34I can't afford mistakes.
16:43Helen, why don't you ever buy anything
16:45for yourself? New shoes, a dress?
16:52>> Because my joy is watching you study.
16:55Your books are my new clothes.
16:58Your classroom is my happiness.
17:04>> One day I'll make all this worth it. I
17:07promise.
17:17>> This This is why I endure.
17:29Just a few more hours. My brother needs
17:31his fees next week.
17:43[Music]
17:48Helen, today the teacher praised me. He
17:52said, "I'm one of the best in class."
17:57>> That's all I ever wanted. That's why I
18:00never gave up.
18:09>> Helen, come here.
18:13Yes, madam.
18:17How long have you been with us now?
18:21almost two years, madam.
18:27H And in these two years, never late,
18:31never complaining, never stealing. You
18:34work harder than anyone I've seen.
18:38Thank you, madam. I just I just do what
18:42I must.
18:46I have an offer for you. My former
18:49employer in Saudi Arabia called me
18:51yesterday. They need a reliable house
18:53help. I cannot go. I have my business
18:56here. But I thought of you.
19:00Saudi Arabia.
19:06>> Yes. The pay is far better than here.
19:09You'll earn in one month what you
19:11struggle for in 6 months here. Enough to
19:13change your life.
19:17Madam, people say bad things happen
19:20there. Some girls suffer.
19:25That's true for some, but not all. I
19:29worked there for 4 years. They treated
19:31me well. If you're strong and patient,
19:34you'll survive.
19:38A better life for him.
19:43Think about it, but don't take too long.
19:46The agent is waiting. If you agree,
19:49we'll start your papers.
19:53Maybe this is the chance we've been
19:55waiting for.
20:06[Music]
20:28[Music]
20:35Helen, what are these papers? You've
20:38been busy with them all week.
20:44There for my passport.
20:46Madam is helping me soon. I'll be
20:50traveling far.
20:56>> Traveling where?
21:03To Saudi Arabia.
21:05I'll work there. They'll pay me. Wo.
21:09Enough for your school, food, and
21:12everything we never had.
21:18>> Saudi Arabia. But what about me? Who
21:22will take care of me?
21:27>> You'll stay with Kala.
21:29She loves you. She'll keep you safe. And
21:34me. I'll work day and night. And one day
21:37I'll come back.
21:39stronger
21:41with enough money to give you a better
21:43life.
21:47>> I don't want you to go. I want you here.
21:53I don't want to leave you either. But
21:56sometimes we must walk through pain to
21:58reach a better tomorrow.
22:19Faster, girls. This is how your bosses
22:22will expect it. No mistakes.
22:58Your visa is ready. In 2 weeks, you'll
23:01fly. Keep your passport safe.
23:08>> Thank you, ma'am.
23:18Helen, promise me you'll come back.
23:20Don't forget me.
23:26I could never forget you. You're my
23:28whole world. No matter what happens, I
23:32will return. That's my promise.
23:44So today you're leaving?
23:50Yes, little one. Today, but only for
23:54some time. When I return, you won't have
23:57to worry about fees or food ever again.
24:03>> But who will wake me up for school? Who
24:06will scold me when I don't finish
24:07homework? Who will hug me at night?
24:15Kala will do all that and I will write
24:18letters. I will think of you every
24:21single day. Promise me you'll be strong.
24:25Study hard. Make mama and papa proud.
24:32>> I don't want you to go.
24:37I don't want to go either, but if I
24:40stay, we'll always be stuck in this
24:42life. Let me go so I can come back with
24:45something better for us.
24:56Don't worry, Helen. I'll treat him like
24:58my own son. Go without fear.
25:03>> Thank you. Calla, please keep him safe.
25:07I'll send money every month.
25:22Be brave.
25:24Next time you see me, I'll bring you
25:26gifts. Maybe even a school uniform
25:28that's brand new.
25:34Just come back. That's all I want.

41:19strength, please.
41:32Kala, it's been 9 months, no letter, no
41:36money, not even one phone call from
41:39Helen. Did she forget us?
41:45>> Don't say that. Maybe she cannot reach
41:47us. Maybe her madam doesn't allow.
41:53But she promised. She said I'd stay in
41:56school. She said she'd take care of me.
42:04I know, child, but without fees, the
42:06school has no choice. They sent you
42:08home.
42:12All the other boys are still in class.
42:14And me sitting here useless. What's the
42:18point of Helen working if I'm thrown out
42:20of school?
42:24Don't cry, my son. We must be patient.
42:26Helen is fighting her own battles far
42:28away. We don't know what she is facing.
42:43I just I just want my sister back. Not
42:48the money, not the gifts, just her.
43:02Madam, please. I've worked here for
43:06almost one year. My contract is
43:09finished. I want to go home now. My
43:13brother, he is waiting for me.
43:19Finished.
43:20Who told you that your contract is four
43:23years?
43:28No madam. The agent said one year only
43:31one
43:36agent. Forget agent. Here I decide. You
43:41stay four years. But I am generous. I
43:45make it three. That is my mercy on you.
43:51Please, madam. I promised my brother.
43:55He's still in school. He needs me. Just
43:58let me go for a short time. I will come
44:00back. I swear.
44:07Enough. No talk. You leave only when I
44:11say. Until then, you work. You shut your
44:14mouth. Understand?
44:21Yes, madam.
44:42One year and I couldn't send them
44:44anything. What if my brother left
44:46school? What if they think I abandoned
44:49them?
45:03Helen, stop crying. Tomorrow, more
45:07guests are coming. Be ready.
45:19God, how much longer? How much more?
45:39Madam, may I ask something?
45:44What now?
45:49>> There is a vaccine. The government says
45:51it is important for safety.
45:55Please can I go?
46:01Vaccine.
46:02No, you are not going anywhere. You
46:06still have a long way in your contract.
46:13Madam, it will only take a short time. I
46:16will come back the same day. Please.
46:24I said no. Do you hear me? I am the one
46:28who decides.
46:29When I speak, you stay silent.
46:35>> Even a vaccine, they won't allow me.
46:39What am I here for? Am I not human?
47:04If I fall sick here, who will even know?
47:07Who will tell him?
47:20Helen, stop your useless crying. Come
47:24iron my clothes.
48:00Madam, please listen. My contract has
48:04already finished. It's been 2 years. I
48:08beg you. Let me go home now.
48:14Finished. Who told you that? Your
48:17contract ends when I say,
48:22"But madam, you said 3 years. Now it's
48:25already close.
48:27Please, my brother is waiting. He needs
48:31me.
48:35Enough. Ramadan is coming. You will
48:38cook, clean, and serve until it ends.
48:42After Ramadan, maybe.
48:47But madam, I promise my family.
48:53No promises matter. You are mine until I
48:56release you. If you want to leave, give
48:59me half your salary back.
49:02Then maybe I'll think
49:08>> I have nothing left. You kept all my
49:10savings.
49:15Then work. That's the only choice you
49:18have.
49:33Every month they promise after Ramadan,
49:35after 3 years, after this, but it never
49:39ends. My life, it's not mine anymore.
50:07Sir, you're back early. Where is madam?
50:14They went shopping. Only me and you.
50:21I will prepare tea for you, sir. Please
50:25sit.
50:43You work hard but you are still young.
50:46Beautiful.
50:50Sir, please don't say that. I am here
50:54only to work. Nothing else.
51:01Please
51:02let me go. I beg you.
51:09>> Quiet. No one is here. No one will know.
51:17God, help me. Please stop.
51:25Don't think of telling anyone. You
51:27understand?
51:31[Music]
51:54Not again. Not again. Not after what
51:56happened to me as a child. God, why are
52:00you testing me like this?
52:05I won't let them destroy me. I will find
52:08a way home. Even if I lose everything.
52:36>> Your mother is not here. Only us. Be
52:39quiet.
52:43Please, uncle, don't. Mama said don't
52:47touch me.
52:51Shut your mouth. If you scream, I will
52:54throw you and your brother out.
53:23All these years I ran from that
53:26nightmare.
53:28I thought I was safe but it followed me
53:31here again.
53:35I cannot live like this. I cannot die
53:39like this.
53:41Someone must hear me. Someone must save
53:44me.
54:18Please
54:19call a pickup.
54:37Hello. Who is Helen? Helen, is that you?
54:42Calla, it's me. Please don't hang up. I
54:48I had no way to call you.
54:53>> Helen, for 9 months, you disappeared. No
54:55call, no money. Your brother cries for
54:58you every night. Do you know they even
54:59removed him from school? Where were you,
55:01child?
55:05Kala, please don't shout. I'm not safe
55:09here. They locked me in. They take my
55:12passport. They treat me like a slave.
55:16Kala, please save me.
55:22What are you saying, Helen? Tell me
55:24clearly. Are they hurting you?
55:30>> Yes, they they don't let me out. They
55:33beat me. And her voice cracks. She holds
55:37back. They do worse things.
55:43Listen to me, Helen. Hold on. I will not
55:45leave you there. I will tell your
55:47brother. I will ask people for help.
55:50Someone will come for you to stay alive.
55:52Beta.
55:56Please hug my brother for me. Tell him
56:00his sister will come back.
56:06I will. I promise.
56:12Please God, let someone hear me. Let
56:16someone come.
56:48Hello Kenyan. Embassy helpline. How can
56:51I assist you?
56:56>> Sir, please. My niece Helen. She is in
56:58Saudi Arabia, Riyad. She is working as a
57:01housemmaid. They locked her, they beat
57:03her, and she called me last night
57:05begging for help. Please do something.
57:10Madam, calm down. Do you know her exact
57:14location, employer's address?
57:20She she only told me her kayfield's
57:22name. I don't know the house number. She
57:24had no time.
57:29Without full details, it is difficult.
57:32Many cases come to us. Tell her to come
57:35directly to us if possible.
57:40>> How can she come? They locked her
57:42inside. She cannot even step outside the
57:44gate. Please sir, she will die there.
57:50I understand your concern. We will note
57:53it down. If she manages to reach us, we
57:56will help.
58:09>> Kala will sister come back.
58:15>> She will, my son. Even if they don't
58:17help, we will find another way. I will
58:19not let your sister disappear like this.
59:08you. Who did you call last night?
59:14I I only called my brother. Please, I
59:19miss my family.
59:24>> Liar. You think I don't know. You think
59:27you can complain about me?
59:40I told you this girl is dangerous. She
59:43must have spoken to someone. She doesn't
59:46deserve food today.
59:51Please,
59:52I beg you, don't take away my food. I
59:57work day and night. I didn't do anything
1:00:00wrong.
1:00:05From now on, you will sleep on the floor
1:00:07near the bathroom. No more bed, no more
1:00:10comfort. And if I hear one more word
1:00:13about phone calls, he squeezes her arm
1:00:15tighter. I will hand you to the police.
1:00:22>> Remember here, you are not human. You
1:00:25are just a servant.
1:00:44God please give me strength.
1:01:12I can't stay like this. If I don't
1:01:14leave, I'll die here.
1:01:26What are you doing here at this hour?
1:01:35The store room was messy. I thought I
1:01:38should clean it now.
1:01:42H remember, walls have ears. One wrong
1:01:46step and you'll regret it.
1:01:59Tomorrow I will try. Maybe when I throw
1:02:04garbage outside, someone will see it.
1:02:07Someone must help me.
1:02:21[Music]
1:03:18Just keep calm. Just act normal.
1:03:29Hm. What's this paper?
1:03:35Please read it quietly.
1:03:41You You are trapped here. They don't let
1:03:44you out.
1:03:47>> Yes. They beat me. They lock me inside.
1:03:53I haven't spoken to my family for
1:03:55months. Please, please save me.
1:04:02If they see me talking to you, they will
1:04:04punish me too. Do you understand?
1:04:11I understand, but I have no one else. If
1:04:14you walk away, I will die here. Please,
1:04:18brother, don't turn away.
1:04:24>> Who can I give this to? police, embassy,
1:04:32>> embassy,
1:04:33Kenyan embassy,
1:04:35or even police.
1:04:38Anyone who can listen. Just don't tell
1:04:41them.
1:04:46Sister, this is dangerous. But your
1:04:49eyes, I can't ignore them. I'll try.
1:04:56God bless you. You are my last hope.
1:05:04Please don't forget me. Please,
1:05:13I won't. I promise.
1:05:36Helen, why are you wasting time? Come
1:05:40inside right now.
1:05:55Poor
1:06:15girl. No one should suffer like this.
1:06:18But if her kayfield finds out, they'll
1:06:20deport me, too. Maybe worse.
1:06:25Hey, why so restless? Did your boss cut
1:06:29your pay again?
1:06:33No. No, just nothing.
1:06:40You're hiding something. Tell me.
1:06:46A girl from Kenya. She works in that big
1:06:49mansion. She gave me this
1:07:05What? She's trapped. Oh man, this is
1:07:09serious.
1:07:14Yes, she begged me. But if we go to
1:07:17police, they might side with her boss.
1:07:20You know how it is here.
1:07:25Embassy.
1:07:27That's safer. I know one guard who
1:07:30sometimes helps workers send messages.
1:07:36Really? Can you connect me?
1:07:42Maybe tomorrow. But listen, be careful.
1:07:46If her kayfield even suspects you,
1:07:48you're finished.
1:07:52I can't ignore her. She looked at me
1:07:55like like her whole life depended on me.
1:08:01Then be ready, brother. You're playing
1:08:04with fire.
1:08:16What are you two whispering about?
1:08:18Plotting something.
1:08:22And no sir, just just talking about
1:08:25work.
1:08:30God, please protect me and that girl.
1:08:33Tomorrow I'll try. I have to.
1:08:41Are you sure he will listen?
1:08:47He's a good man. Helps workers
1:08:50sometimes.
1:08:51But don't mention names too loud.
1:08:57[Music]
1:09:01What do you want? Embassy is closed now.
1:09:05Come tomorrow in office hours.
1:09:10>> Brother, please. It's urgent. Someone's
1:09:13life is in danger.
1:09:19>> Speak clearly. Who?
1:09:24>> A Kenyan girl trapped in a house here.
1:09:27She gave me this. She said only embassy
1:09:30can save her.
1:09:45You're brave to bring this. If anyone
1:09:48caught you,
1:09:51I know, but I couldn't leave her. She's
1:09:55suffering.
1:09:59Don't worry. I will read this and take
1:10:01it inside. But listen carefully. Do not
1:10:04come here again about this matter. It's
1:10:06dangerous for you.
1:10:11Will she be safe?
1:10:15>> If what's written is true, we will act.
1:10:18She's not alone anymore.
1:10:23>> Thank you, brother. May God protect you.
1:10:29May God protect her.
1:10:34I did my part. Now it's in God's hands.
1:11:08Sir, a worker slipped this to me outside
1:11:11the gate. It's from a canyon girl. She
1:11:13says she's being held like a slave.
1:11:18My name is Helen. I am locked in a
1:11:21house, beaten, starved, forced to work
1:11:24day and night. Please, if anyone finds
1:11:27this letter, save me. I don't want to
1:11:30die here.
1:11:34This is not the first time. Every month
1:11:37we hear whispers like this, but this
1:11:39this is direct. A cry for help.
1:11:46Exactly.
1:11:48And she's one of ours. We can't ignore
1:11:51this.
1:11:55>> Sir, that cleaner risked his life to
1:11:57bring this. He begged me to make sure it
1:12:00reaches you.
1:12:04>> And it has. Now it's our duty.
1:12:10>> We should inform the Saudi labor
1:12:12authorities. At least push for a welfare
1:12:15check on that house.
1:12:19>> Yes, but carefully. If her employer
1:12:22finds out before officials arrive, she
1:12:25could be punished worse.
1:12:30Guard, keep this matter secret. Not a
1:12:33word to anyone.
1:12:38Understood, sir.
1:12:50Tomorrow morning we start the process.
1:12:53This girl must be found alive.
1:13:13[Music]
1:13:24This is the Kenyan embassy in Riyad. We
1:13:27have received a distress letter from one
1:13:29of our nationals.
1:13:31Female domestic worker. Urgent matter.
1:13:39Give us the details. We need her name
1:13:41and possible location.
1:13:47>> Her name is Helen. She only mentioned
1:13:50she's locked inside a villa in Riyad.
1:13:52Employer's family of four. A man and his
1:13:54wife, two children. That's all.
1:14:02>> We will assign an inspector. It may take
1:14:04time, but tell your people don't panic.
1:14:07We'll proceed legally.
1:14:12Time is exactly what she doesn't have.
1:14:15Please, this is a matter of life and
1:14:17death.
1:14:22We'll do what we can.
1:14:56We'll do what we can, sir. That means
1:14:58delay, weeks, maybe. What if she doesn't
1:15:01survive?
1:15:06Then we push harder. We won't let this
1:15:09girl vanish.
1:15:23Did they find my letter or did it end up
1:15:26in the trash?
1:15:32>> Helen, get up. Clean the floor again.
1:15:36It's dirty. Don't make me open this door
1:15:38and drag you out.
1:15:44God, just give me one chance.
1:15:47Just one.
1:16:06You say the girl is inside a villa, but
1:16:08no address. Only Riyad, family of four.
1:16:12That's a needle in the desert.
1:16:17>> We have her employer's name from the
1:16:19agency list. Cross match that. She must
1:16:22be there.
1:16:26>> If we go unannounced, maybe we can catch
1:16:29them off guard. She wrote she's locked
1:16:32inside.
1:16:37>> Surprise inspections are delicate.
1:16:40Employers are powerful. But pauses then
1:16:43not slowly. I'll try. One chance.
1:16:51That's all we need. One chance to save
1:16:53her.
1:17:14Someone reported us. Authorities may
1:17:17check who? How
1:17:24>> that made Helen? I told you she's been
1:17:28acting strange. Maybe she sent something
1:17:31out.
1:17:37She's locked. How could she? Unless
1:17:41someone helped her.
1:17:47>> If they come, hide her. Say she ran
1:17:50away. Without proof, no one can touch
1:17:53us.
1:17:57Yes, we'll show them nothing. Just a
1:18:00clean house.
1:18:11They know. They know someone is coming.
1:18:14God, don't let them hide me away.
1:18:54Labor inspection.
1:18:58Don't panic. Say everything is fine.
1:19:01Hide the keys.
1:19:05Inspector,
1:19:07welcome. Welcome. What brings you here
1:19:10so early?
1:19:15Routine check. We received information
1:19:17about an illegal worker issue. We need
1:19:20to see all staff.
1:19:24Oh, that's nonsense. We have no problems
1:19:27here. Only one maid, but she ran away
1:19:30months ago.
1:19:36Her name is Helen. And we know she's
1:19:39here.
1:19:44>> No. She left. She betrayed us. You will
1:19:48find nothing here.
1:19:54Then you won't mind if we look around.
1:19:59Fine. Search. But you're wasting your
1:20:02time.
1:20:06They came. Oh god, they finally came for
1:20:09me.
1:20:30What is inside that room?
1:20:35Would you like coffee or tea?
1:20:59That's just storage. Old boxes.
1:21:21open it now.
1:21:26I told you it's just junk.
1:21:32Enough lies. We demand it now.
1:21:38Give me those keys.
1:22:01Please, please save me.
1:22:07Helen, you're safe now. We've come for
1:22:10you.
1:22:13>> I thought no one would ever come. They
1:22:16beat me, locked me here. I wanted to
1:22:19die.
1:22:23>> You lied to us. You abused her. Do you
1:22:26know the punishment for this?
1:22:31>> And no, she she disobeyed orders.
1:22:37Orders. She is not your slave. She is a
1:22:42human being.
1:22:46>> Please, my brother. I need to see him
1:22:49again.
1:22:54You will. I promise we will take you
1:22:58home.
1:23:41I was only 19 When I came here, I
1:23:44thought I thought life would change for
1:23:47me and my brother.
1:23:52Tell me everything. You don't have to
1:23:54hide anymore.
1:23:59At first, they treated me kindly.
1:24:02Food? Bad. I thought maybe I was lucky.
1:24:07But then, pauses, choking. The beating
1:24:11started.
1:24:12for small mistakes,
1:24:14for being slow. They would lock me
1:24:17inside the room for days, sometimes
1:24:20without food.
1:24:32I begged them. I told them I have a
1:24:34little brother waiting for me. But they
1:24:37laughed. They said I belonged to them.
1:24:41They took my passport.
1:24:43I couldn't call home for 9 months. I
1:24:48didn't hear my brother's voice.
1:24:54Helen, you are very brave. You survived
1:24:57what many could not.
1:25:03Some nights I thought of ending it all.
1:25:07But one thing kept me alive. My brother,
1:25:11I wanted to see him again.
1:25:18They will face justice. I will make sure
1:25:20of it.
1:25:24>> Justice
1:25:25after so long.
1:25:30>> Yes, you're safe now, Helen. Tomorrow,
1:25:35we'll take you to the embassy.
1:25:37Soon you'll go home.
1:26:03Helen, this is your home now. No one
1:26:06will hurt you here.
1:26:11It feels different here. Safe.
1:26:18That's because it is safe. Come sit.
1:26:22We'll take your statement.
1:26:28>> I almost forgot what kindness feels
1:26:31like.
1:26:36Helen, tell us everything from the
1:26:37beginning. We'll write it down. We need
1:26:41details to take action.
1:26:46I thought I came here to give my brother
1:26:48a future, but I almost lost mine.
1:27:03You didn't lose daughter Helen. You
1:27:06survived. That's victory enough.
1:27:12It's done. Tomorrow, we'll arrange your
1:27:15flight back home. Tonight, you rest
1:27:18here.
1:27:22>> Home? I'll really see my brother again.
1:27:30Yes, he's waiting for you.
1:27:43Thank you, God. Thank you for one more
1:27:46chance.
1:28:00[Music]
1:28:07Hello,
1:28:11Daniel.
1:28:16Helen. Helen, is that you?
1:28:21Yes, it's me, brother. I'm alive. I'm
1:28:27safe now.
1:28:31>> I thought I thought you forgot us. You
1:28:35never called, never sent anything. I
1:28:38waited every day. Helen,
1:28:43>> I know. I know. Daniel,
1:28:47forgive me. They They never let me call.
1:28:52They locked me inside.
1:28:54I was treated like a prisoner.
1:28:59>> I missed you so much. Mama is gone. And
1:29:03I thought I lost you, too.
1:29:09>> You didn't lose me, Daniel. I'm coming
1:29:12back. I'll be with you again. Just a
1:29:16little longer.
1:29:22Really? You're coming home?
1:29:29Yes, brother. The embassy is helping me
1:29:33soon. I'll hold you in my arms again.
1:29:39Helen, I can't wait. Every night I
1:29:43prayed for you. Every single night.
1:29:50I will never leave you again, Daniel.
1:29:53Never.
1:29:57Welcome home, sister. Welcome back to
1:30:00me.
1:30:10Boarding pass.
1:30:18You may proceed.
1:30:23It's over. It's finally over.
1:30:29Please fasten your seat belt, ma'am.
1:30:40Mama, if only you were here to see me
1:30:42going home.
1:30:44Daniel, just a little longer, my
1:30:46brother.
1:30:55[Music]
1:30:58>> Ladies and gentlemen, this is your
1:31:00captain speaking.
1:31:06[Music]
1:31:13Goodbye prison. Goodbye pain. I'm going
1:31:17home.
1:31:23[Music]
1:31:39Helen. Helen.
1:31:48>> Daniel, my little brother. You've grown
1:31:51so much.
1:31:56>> I thought I lost you, Helen. Every night
1:31:59I prayed you'd come back.
1:32:04I promised I'd return and I did. Mama
1:32:07would be proud of you.
1:32:12Kala, thank you for raising Daniel when
1:32:15I couldn't. For being his mother when I
1:32:17was gone.
1:32:23No, child. You are the one who suffered
1:32:26for all of us. You're home now. That's
1:32:29what matters.
1:32:34Come Helen, let's go home.
1:32:52Is that Helen? She's back.
1:32:59Yes, it's Helen. She's home.
1:33:13>> Helen, my child, we thought we'd never
1:33:15see you again.
1:33:20I thought so, too. But God has been
1:33:23kind.
1:33:27Auntie Helen, will you play with us now?
1:33:34Yes, my dear. Now I will never leave
1:33:37again.
1:33:51You went through so much, Helen. But now
1:33:54you are home. That's all that matters.
1:34:00This This is freedom.
1:34:26Dei, tell me the truth. What really
1:34:29happened to you in Saudi? For 9 months,
1:34:32we heard nothing. No letters, no money.
1:34:36I thought maybe you forgot us.
1:34:42I never forgot you, Daniel.
1:34:45Every single day I thought of you. But I
1:34:49was trapped.
1:34:54Trapped? How?
1:34:59The house I worked in, it was not what I
1:35:01expected. They took my passport.
1:35:05They made me a servant day and night. I
1:35:09was beaten, shouted at, treated like I
1:35:11was not human.
1:35:16>> What? They dared to hurt you? How could
1:35:20they?
1:35:24Shoo. Don't raise your voice. It's over
1:35:27now.
1:35:33Why didn't you call me?
1:35:39>> I tried. I was locked in, watched all
1:35:43the time. Even when I cried for help, no
1:35:46one listened. Only in the end, some
1:35:49people heard me. They saved me.
1:35:56Those monsters, I wish I could punish
1:35:59them. They stole your smile.
1:36:05Don't hate, Daniel. Don't carry the
1:36:08darkness they gave me. Promise me you
1:36:11will study hard, become strong, and live
1:36:14the life I couldn't.
1:36:19I promise, Dei. I'll study. I'll work
1:36:23hard. One day, I'll make you proud.
1:36:51Sister Helen, would you like to share
1:36:53your experience?
1:36:54It might help others.
1:36:59My name is Helen. I left this country
1:37:02with dreams.
1:37:03Dreams of money, of building a better
1:37:06future for my family. But instead,
1:37:10pauses, voice trembling, I walked into a
1:37:12cage.
1:37:16They promised me good work. They said I
1:37:20would be safe. But the moment I landed,
1:37:23they took my passport.
1:37:25They made me a slave. I worked day and
1:37:28night, beaten, starved, insulted.
1:37:32For months, I was not human to them,
1:37:34just a machine.
1:37:44I cried for help. I begged strangers.
1:37:49Most turned away. Until one day, someone
1:37:53finally heard me.
1:37:55That small mercy saved my life.
1:38:01Please, sisters, don't believe quick
1:38:04promises.
1:38:05Don't trust agents who paint a perfect
1:38:07picture. Ask questions.
1:38:11Demand proof. And if you ever go abroad,
1:38:14remember my story. Don't let your
1:38:17children cry the way my brother cried
1:38:19when I was gone.
1:38:24I lost a piece of myself there. But I
1:38:26returned with a purpose to warn you. To
1:38:30save you from the pain I suffered.
1:38:36[Applause]
