All People Free is more than a film. It’s a movement for justice.
Original Soundtrack By Will Calhoun
Acclaimed artivist and filmmaker Duda Penteado presents All People Free, a powerful short documentary that exposes the little-known yet devastating reality of modern-day slavery in brick kiln factories across North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. With over 20 million people trapped in forced labor—nearly half of them children—this film is a call to justice and a catalyst for global change.
This 10-minute documentary, designed for film festivals and community screenings, gives voice to survivors, unpacks the complexities of this global crisis, and exposes the deep connection between exploitation in brick kilns and broader economic systems and instability. By spotlighting sustainable solutions and collective action, All People Free seeks to galvanize audiences to take meaningful steps toward ending modern slavery.
