Maids coming from poor countries in Africa and Asia are locked up for years. With their passports confiscated, they are unable to escape the omnipresent control of their employer. Any immigrant worker in the Middle East needs an employer to be allowed entry. The employer has absolute control over the women, which leads to cases of lack of payment, poor living conditions, severe beatings and rape. MAID IN HELL provides insight into modern slavery and follows agents who vividly describe the trade, and maids who struggle to find a way home after harrowing, and sometimes, deadly experiences.
