Iqbal Masih - The Boy Who Spoke for Millions of Voices
His name never made the textbooks.
He was sold into bondage by his very own family.
Though history holds him forever as a child,
his life story will move every generation.
ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY
My film, Iqbal Masih - The Boy Who Spoke for Millions of Voices, tells the compelling story of a Pakistani child laborer who escaped bondage and worked tirelessly to free other children in the industry. This documentary honors Iqbal's life and raises awareness about child labor, a startling reality of the 21st century.
We must keep Iqbal and the millions of child laborers around the globe in our knowledge, for our voices can tell their stories.
My documentary was recognized by the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes, and I received a $500 monetary award . My film won finalist in the Unsung Hero 2022 Documentary Competition.
