just looking for comms/sauce re: rescued children. This posted in Boston Globe today
A disease defeated, women resisting, Manitoba remembered, children rescued
As seen in Alyssa Fedele and Zachary Fink’s “The Rescue List,” one such child, Kwame, escaped from this misery and now as an adult is dedicated to rescuing other enslaved children. With his staff he compiles lists of trafficked children and tracks them down, bringing them back to a hidden safe house to be rehabilitated and eventually, if possible, returned to their families.
The filmmakers join Kwame as he furtively patrols the lake in a skiff and after a tense confrontation takes two boys back with him to his compound. At first suspicious, they adjust to their improved circumstances.
Some, though, like 12-year-old Edem, are traumatized and hard to reach. He is haunted by memories of a friend whose fate he can’t talk about. Another, 17-year-old Peter, who had been a slave since he was 3, begs Kwame to find his friend whom he had left behind. Kwame agrees, and sets off on another rescue mission, which will prove more of a challenge than the one before.
The filmmakers observe the operations without any editorial intrusion except for occasional intertitles and meaningful cuts. Unexpected details add irony and pathos: kids inexplicably watching the racist film “The Gods Must Be Crazy” (1980); fishermen’s boats with names like Father Forgive Them and Remember; and a T-shirt worn by one of the boys with the words “My Mama Says I’m Special.”
Kwame and his organization have so far rescued about 1,000 children, but an estimated 18,000 remain in slavery. Though ultimately hopeful, the film underscores the reality that when injustice, hardship, and greed prevail, the ones who suffer most are children.po
