Buoyancy
The day you lose hope, is the day you will die.
Directed by Rodd Rathjen
Produced by Causeway Films, Feracious Entertainment
A harrowing portrait of child trafficking and slavery that forces its protagonist—and viewer—to confront whether survival requires moral corruption.
An innocent Cambodian boy is sold to a Thai broker and enslaved on a fishing trawler. As fellow slaves are tortured and murdered around him, he starts to wonder if his only hope of freedom is to become as violent as his captors.
