Iqbal (1998)

Directed by Cinzia Th. Torrini

Overview

Iqbal is about an Asian boy who gets sold by his father to a small carpentry production company in which child labour is supported. His “master” is a cruel man, imposing a ridiculous behaviour catalogue with strict charges. The children, about 5-10 years of age, have to work all day and they´re not allowed to go to toilet while at work, let alone visit their parents. Iqbal soon realizes that this is a massive injustice, especially when a member of the (unindentified) country´s Communist and Anti-child labour party takes photographs of the children.

Length 98 minutes
