Maid in Hell
Juonikuvaukset(1)
About 2.8 million girls and young women from Africa and Asia work in rich households in Lebanon, Jordan, and the UAE. Instead of a welcome, their passports are taken away; instead of a new home they live in almost work-camp-like conditions and receive paltry wages. Their employers abuse and sexually exploit them. Employment agencies quietly rake in commissions, completely overlooking that, on average, 2 household employees die in Lebanon each week and continue to recruit young women interested in a job. The film presents the issues from various perspectives, particularly powerful as it shows the specific faces of all parties involved – workers, job agents, employers, and activists. (One World)

This is what I imagine investigative journalism to be. A strong topic with bitter and even chilling moments, and at the same time, an issue that is little known in Europe, and therefore the documentary has significance as a warning. It can influence something. Overall impression: 90%.
