Small Voices

Based on true events, Small Voices recounts the story of Alam, a Pakistani boy abducted by human traffickers, and his struggle to survive through years of captivity far from home. Smuggled across the sea to the Arab Emirates, Alam and his fellow captives, all aged between 5 and 12 years - from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and the horn of Africa - are trained to race camels for the pleasure of the wealthy sheiks. Risking life and limb each time they ride, the boys have no choice but to follow the orders of their brutal trainers or face brutal punishment.
