- We were abducted my mother, father, sister and me. Then they killed my parents and separated me from my sister. I was five, Abouk tells us in a low voice. I stayed with one of the men who kidnapped us and took care of his goats. Slaves is about Abouk nine, and Machiek fifteen. Like thousands of other children they were taken by government sponsored militia in Sudan and used as slaves. They were later liberated by an organisation headed by James Aguer. Slaves is based on an interview made in 2003 and is the second film in a series of animated documentaries with and about children in difficult situations by David Aronowitsch and Hanna Heilborn, and with design by Mats Johansson/Acne Jr.
