Synopsis
Many Brazilians think that slavery ended with the signing of the Golden Law. But the relations of slave labor exploitation continue to this day. It is estimated that at this very moment there are 369 thousand Brazilians living and working as slaves. Through the testimony of modern abolitionists and rural workers who were victims of contemporary slavery, Servitude (Servidão) investigates the slavery mentality of Brazilian society that dates back to 5 centuries. Narrated by Negra Li, Servitude is a resounding record of one of the greatest ills in Brazil.
