WHY SLAVERY? A Woman Captured | Signed to Servitude and Debt
Clip: Season 4 Episode 10 | 1m 25sVideo has Closed Captions
Marish is forced into signing for a loan, a debt that keeps her beholden to her employer.
For 10 years, Marish has been kept as a housekeeper by Eta, a Hungarian woman. She toils unpaid 7 days a week in exchange for meals, cigarettes and a couch to sleep on. Even money earned from an extra job must be handed over. Over two and a half years, filmmaker Bernadett Tuza-Ritter witnesses first-hand the relentless torrent of abuse - her presence also inspires Marish to live as a free person.
