Indentured servitude in India

CNN’s Sara Sidner visits a remote village in India where men, women and children work from sunup to sundown to pay off a debt.

In India they are known as bonded laborers, bound to those who gave them or their forefathers an advance or a loan. Human rights advocates call them modern day slaves.
