U poslednje dve godine, fotograf Lisa Kristin je proputovala svet, dokumentujući nepodnošljivo okrutne realnosti savremenog ropstva. Prikazuje nam uznemirujuće, ali u isto vreme lepe slike -- rudari u Kongu, ciglari u Nepalu --obelodanjujući položaj 27 miliona duša porobljenih širom sveta. (Snimljeno na TEDxMaui)

00:16
I'm 150 feet down an illegal mine shaft in Ghana.
0
723
6400
Nalazim se na 40 metara dubine u ilegalnom rudniku u Gani.
00:23
The air is thick with heat and dust,
1
7123
4121
Vazduh je težak od vrućine i prašine
00:27
and it's hard to breathe.
2
11244
3409
i jedva se diše.
00:30
I can feel the brush of sweaty bodies passing me
3
14653
3262
Osećam dašak oznojenih tela kako prolaze pored mene
00:33
in the darkness, but I can't see much else.
4
17915
4246
u pomrčini, ali ne vidim mnogo više.
00:38
I hear voices talking, but mostly the shaft
5
22161
3970
Čujem glasove, ali većinom je to samo
00:42
is this cacophony of men coughing,
6
26131
3988
kakofonija muškaraca koji kašlju
00:46
and stone being broken with primitive tools.
7
30119
3911
i kamenja koje se lomi primitivnim alatima.
00:49
Like the others, I wear a flickering, cheap flashlight
8
34030
4055
Kao i ostali, nosim treperavo, jeftino svetlo,
00:53
tied to my head with this elastic, tattered band,
9
38085
4796
koje mi je zavezano za glavu elastičnom, dronjavom trakom
00:58
and I can barely make out the slick tree limbs
10
42881
3340
i jedva mogu da razlikujem klizave grane
01:02
holding up the walls of the three-foot square hole
11
46221
3029
koje podržavaju zidove ove rupe od pola metara kvadratnih,
01:05
dropping hundreds of feet into the earth.
12
49250
4626
koja zaranja stotinama metara duboko u zemlju.
01:09
When my hand slips, I suddenly remember a miner
13
53876
3080
Kada mi glava padne, odjednom se setim rudara
01:12
I had met days before who had lost his grip
14
56956
4281
koga sam upoznala nekoliko dana ranije, koji je izgubio ravnotežu
01:17
and fell countless feet down that shaft.
15
61237
4621
i pao nebrojeno mnogo metara niz to okno.
01:21
As I stand talking to you today,
16
65858
2531
Dok danas stojim ovde i dok vam govorim,
01:24
these men are still deep in that hole,
17
68389
3504
ovi muškarci su i dalje duboko u toj rupi,
01:27
risking their lives without payment or compensation,
18
71893
3515
rizikujući svoje živote bez plate ili kompenzacije
01:31
and often dying.
19
75408
3140
i često umiru.
01:34
I got to climb out of that hole, and I got to go home,
20
78548
5188
Ja sam se popela uz tu rupu i otišla sam kući,
01:39
but they likely never will, because they're trapped in slavery.
21
83736
6182
ali oni najverovatnije nikada neće, jer su u zamci ropstva.
01:45
For the last 28 years, I've been documenting
22
89918
2907
U poslednjih 28 godina zabeležila sam
01:48
indigenous cultures in more than 70 countries
23
92825
2561
autohtone kulture u preko 70 zemalja,
01:51
on six continents, and in 2009 I had the great honor
24
95386
3795
na šest kontinenata i 2009. godine imala sam posebnu čast
01:55
of being the sole exhibitor at the Vancouver Peace Summit.
25
99181
4412
da budem jedini izlagač na Mirovnom samitu u Vankuveru.
01:59
Amongst all the astonishing people I met there,
26
103593
3572
Među svim izuzetnim ljudima koje sam tamo upoznala,
02:03
I met a supporter of Free the Slaves, an NGO
27
107165
3170
upoznala sam i pristalicu nevladine organizacije
Oslobodimo robove,
Oslobodimo robove,
02:06
dedicated to eradicating modern day slavery.
28
110335
5327
koja je posvećena iskorenjivanju modernog ropstva.
02:11
We started talking about slavery, and really,
29
115662
2889
Počeli smo da razgovaramo o ropstvu i stvarno
02:14
I started learning about slavery,
30
118551
2864
sam počela da učim o ropstvu,
02:17
for I had certainly known it existed in the world,
31
121415
3209
jer sam zasigurno znala da ono postoji u svetu,
02:20
but not to such a degree.
32
124624
3011
ali ne u tim razmerama.
02:23
After we finished talking, I felt so horrible
33
127635
3743
Nakon što smo završili razgovor, osetila sam se ušasno
02:27
and honestly ashamed at my own lack of knowledge
34
131378
3376
i iskreno osramoćena sopstvenim neznanjem
02:30
of this atrocity in my own lifetime, and I thought,
35
134754
3510
da ovakvo zverstvo postoji u moje vreme i pomislila sam,
02:34
if I don't know, how many other people don't know?
36
138264
4868
ako ja ne znam, koliko još ljudi ne zna?
02:39
It started burning a hole in my stomach, so within weeks,
37
143132
3815
Počelo je da mi se kuva u stomaku,
tako da sam nakon nekoliko nedelja
tako da sam nakon nekoliko nedelja
02:42
I flew down to Los Angeles to meet with the director
38
146947
2976
odletela u Los Anđeles da se nađem sa direktorom
02:45
of Free the Slaves and offer them my help.
39
149923
3271
Oslobodimo robove i ponudila im pomoć.
02:49
Thus began my journey into modern day slavery.
40
153194
4570
Odatle je započelo moje putovanje u moderno ropstvo.
02:53
Oddly, I had been to many of these places before.
41
157764
3142
Začuđujuće, već sam bila na mnogim od ovih mesta ranije.
02:56
Some I even considered like my second home.
42
160906
3481
Neke sam čak i smatrala svojim drugim domom.
03:00
But this time, I would see the skeletons hidden in the closet.
43
164387
7435
Ali ovoga puta sam videla sve te skrivene stvari.
03:07
A conservative estimate tells us there are more than
44
171822
2305
Konzervativna procena nam govori da postoji preko
03:10
27 million people enslaved in the world today.
45
174127
4155
27 miliona ljudi koji su robovi danas u svetu.
03:14
That's double the amount of people taken from Africa
46
178282
3480
To je duplo više ljudi od onih koji su uzeti iz Afrike
03:17
during the entire trans-Atlantic slave trade.
47
181762
4125
tokom cele preko-atlantske trgovine robljem.
03:21
A hundred and fifty years ago, an agricultural slave
48
185887
3144
Pre 150 godina, rob u poljoprivredi
03:24
cost about three times the annual salary
49
189031
3494
koštao je trećinu godišnje plate
03:28
of an American worker.
50
192525
2746
američkog radnika.
03:31
That equates to about $50,000 in today's money.
51
195271
3993
To je oko 50 000 dolara današnjeg novca.
03:35
Yet today, entire families can be enslaved for generations
52
199264
4392
Dok danas čitave porodice mogu biti
porobljene generacijama
porobljene generacijama
03:39
over a debt as small as $18.
53
203656
4868
zbog duga koji iznosi samo 18 dolara.
03:44
Astonishingly, slavery generates profits
54
208524
3032
Začuđujuće, ropstvo donosi zaradu
03:47
of more than $13 billion worldwide each year.
55
211556
5746
od više od 13 milijardi dolara svuda u svetu svake godine.
03:53
Many have been tricked by false promises
56
217302
2852
Mnoge su prevarili lažnim obećanjima
03:56
of a good education, a better job, only to find
57
220154
4546
o dobrom obrazovanju, boljem poslu, da bi zatim saznali
04:00
that they're forced to work without pay
58
224700
3508
da su prisiljeni da rade bez novčane naknade,
04:04
under the threat of violence, and they cannot walk away.
59
228208
5668
pod pretnjama nasiljem i oni ne mogu tek tako da odu.
04:09
Today's slavery is about commerce,
60
233876
3282
Današnje ropstvo povezano je sa trgovinom,
04:13
so the goods that enslaved people produce have value,
61
237158
4030
tako da dobra koja robovi proizvode imaju vrednost,
04:17
but the people producing them are disposable.
62
241188
4998
dok su ljudi koji ih proizvode za jednokratnu upotrebu.
04:22
Slavery exists everywhere, nearly, in the world,
63
246186
4390
Ropstvo postoji skoro svuda u svetu,
04:26
and yet it is illegal everywhere in the world.
64
250576
6967
ali je ilegalno svuda u svetu.
04:33
In India and Nepal, I was introduced to the brick kilns.
65
257543
4790
U Indiji i Nepalu upoznata sam sa sušionicama.
04:38
This strange and awesome sight was like
66
262333
2791
Neobičan i sjajan prizor bio je kao
04:41
walking into ancient Egypt or Dante's Inferno.
67
265124
3890
ulaženje u antički Egipat ili Danteov pakao.
04:44
Enveloped in temperatures of 130 degrees,
68
269014
4151
Obavijeni temperaturama od 130 stepeni,
04:49
men, women, children, entire families in fact,
69
273165
4095
muškarci, žene, deca, zapravo cele porodice
04:53
were cloaked in a heavy blanket of dust,
70
277260
3151
bili su uvijeni u težak prekrivač prašine,
04:56
while mechanically stacking bricks on their head,
71
280411
2620
dok su mehanički slagali cigle na glave,
04:58
up to 18 at a time, and carrying them
72
283031
3121
do 18 cigala u isto vreme i nosili ih
05:02
from the scorching kilns to trucks hundreds of yards away.
73
286152
4950
od vrelih pećnica do kamiona
udaljenih stotinama kilometara.
udaljenih stotinama kilometara.
05:07
Deadened by monotony and exhaustion,
74
291102
3527
Iscrpljeni od monotonije i premora,
05:10
they work silently, doing this task over and over
75
294629
5585
rade u tišini, ponavljajući zadatak
05:16
for 16 or 17 hours a day.
76
300214
3353
16 ili 17 sati dnevno.
05:19
There were no breaks for food, no water breaks,
77
303567
3719
Nije bilo pauza za hranu, pauza za vodu
05:23
and the severe dehydration made urinating
78
307286
2552
i ozbiljna dehidratacija učinila je da uriniranje
05:25
pretty much inconsequential.
79
309838
2872
bude nepotrebno.
05:28
So pervasive was the heat and the dust
80
312710
2432
Vrućina i prašina su bile toliko sveprožimajuće
05:31
that my camera became too hot to even touch
81
315142
3751
da mi je kamera postala toliko vruća
da nije mogla ni da se dodirne
da nije mogla ni da se dodirne
05:34
and ceased working.
82
318893
2452
i prestala je da radi.
05:37
Every 20 minutes, I'd have to run back to our cruiser
83
321345
2772
Svakih 20 minuta morala sam da trčim nazad do džipa
05:40
to clean out my gear and run it under an air conditioner
84
324117
3349
da očistim opremu i da je stavim ispod klime
05:43
to revive it, and as I sat there,
85
327466
3055
da je oživim i dok sam sedela tamo,
05:46
I thought, my camera is getting far better treatment
86
330521
4610
pomislila sam da se o mojoj kameri mnogo više vodi računa
05:51
than these people.
87
335131
2326
nego o ovim ljudima.
05:53
Back in the kilns, I wanted to cry,
88
337457
2872
Nazad u pećnici htela sam da zaplačem,
05:56
but the abolitionist next to me quickly grabbed me
89
340329
3178
ali me je abolicionist do mene brzo zgrabio
05:59
and he said, "Lisa, don't do that. Just don't do that here."
90
343507
4304
i rekao: "Lisa, nemoj to da radiš.
Nemoj to ovde da radiš."
Nemoj to ovde da radiš."
06:03
And he very clearly explained to me that emotional displays
91
347811
3893
Jasno mi je objasnio da je pokazivanje emocija
06:07
are very dangerous in a place like this,
92
351704
2534
vrlo opasno na ovakvom mestu,
06:10
not just for me, but for them.
93
354238
3854
ne samo za mene, već za njih.
06:13
I couldn't offer them any direct help.
94
358092
3650
Nisam mogla da im ponudim nikakvu direktnu pomoć.
06:17
I couldn't give them money, nothing.
95
361742
2793
Nisam mogla da im dam novac, ništa.
06:20
I wasn't a citizen of that country.
96
364535
1797
Nisam bila građanin te zemlje.
06:22
I could get them in a worse situation
97
366332
3088
Mogla sam da ih dovedem u goru situaciju
06:25
than they were already in.
98
369420
2780
od one u kojoj su već bili.
06:28
I'd have to rely on Free the Slaves to work
99
372200
2256
Morala sam da se oslonim na
Oslobodimo robove da rade
Oslobodimo robove da rade
06:30
within the system for their liberation,
100
374456
2842
u okvirima sistema za njihovo oslobađanje
06:33
and I trusted that they would.
101
377298
3469
i verovala sam da će uspeti.
06:36
As for me, I'd have to wait until I got home
102
380767
3437
Što se mene tiče, morala sam da čekam da dođem kući
06:40
to really feel my heartbreak.
103
384204
3962
da zaista osetim kako mi se srce slama.
06:44
In the Himalayas, I found children carrying stone
104
388166
2873
Na Himalajima, naišla sam na decu koja su nosila kamenje
06:46
for miles down mountainous terrain
105
391039
2750
kilometrima niz planinski teren,
06:49
to trucks waiting at roads below.
106
393789
2898
do kamiona koji su čekali na putevima dole.
06:52
The big sheets of slate were heavier
107
396687
2518
Velike ploče bile su teže
06:55
than the children carrying them,
108
399205
2666
od dece koja su ih nosila
06:57
and the kids hoisted them from their heads
109
401871
2029
i deca su ih dizala na glave,
06:59
using these handmade harnesses of sticks and rope
110
403900
4444
koristeći ručno pravljene pojaseve od štapa i kanapa
07:04
and torn cloth.
111
408344
1847
i iscepane odeće.
07:06
It's difficult to witness something so overwhelming.
112
410191
3675
Teško je posvedočiti nečemu toliko potresnom.
07:09
How can we affect something so insidious,
113
413866
2647
Kako možemo da utičemo na nešto tako podmuklo,
07:12
yet so pervasive?
114
416513
3212
a tako prožimajuće?
07:15
Some don't even know they're enslaved,
115
419725
2712
Neki ni ne znaju da su porobljeni,
07:18
people working 16, 17 hours a day without any pay,
116
422437
5006
ljudi koji rade 16, 17 sati dnevno bez bilo kakve plate,
07:23
because this has been the case all their lives.
117
427443
3213
jer je tako celog njihovog života.
07:26
They have nothing to compare it to.
118
430656
4282
Nemaju sa čim da uporede.
07:30
When these villagers claimed their freedom,
119
434938
3374
Kada su ovi seljaci zatražili svoju slobodu,
07:34
the slaveholders burned down all of their houses.
120
438312
5415
robovlasnici su im zapalili kuće.
07:39
I mean, these people had nothing,
121
443727
1962
Zaista, ovi ljudi nisu imali ništa
07:41
and they were so petrified, they wanted to give up,
122
445689
3649
i bili su toliko prestrašeni, želeli su da odustanu,
07:45
but the woman in the center rallied for them to persevere,
123
449338
4047
ali žena u centru ih je ubeđivala da ne odustaju
07:49
and abolitionists on the ground
124
453385
1496
i abolicionisti na terenu
07:50
helped them get a quarry lease of their own,
125
454881
2659
su im pomogli da dobiju kamenolom u najam,
07:53
so that now they do the same back-breaking work,
126
457540
3113
tako da sada rade isti posao koji slama kičmu,
07:56
but they do it for themselves, and they get paid for it,
127
460653
4507
ali sada to rade za sebe, plaćeni su za to
08:01
and they do it in freedom.
128
465160
3423
i rade u slobodi.
08:04
Sex trafficking is what we often think of
129
468583
2068
Obično pomislimo na trgovinu belim robljem
08:06
when we hear the word slavery,
130
470651
1901
kada čujemo reč ropstvo
08:08
and because of this worldwide awareness,
131
472552
1959
i zbog ove svesti rasprostranjene širom sveta
08:10
I was warned that it would be difficult for me to work safely
132
474511
3136
upozorili su me da će biti teško da radim bezbedno
08:13
within this particular industry.
133
477647
2822
baš u ovoj industriji.
08:16
In Kathmandu, I was escorted by women who had
134
480469
2842
U Katmanduu pratnja su mi bile žene koje
08:19
previously been sex slaves themselves.
135
483311
3536
su i same pre toga bile belo roblje.
08:22
They ushered me down a narrow set of stairs
136
486847
2358
Požurile su me niz uzano stepenište
08:25
that led to this dirty, dimly fluorescent lit basement.
137
489205
5613
koje je vodilo do prljavog, zadimljeno
fluorescentno osvetljenog podruma.
fluorescentno osvetljenog podruma.
08:30
This wasn't a brothel, per se.
138

1832
Ovo nije bio bordel per se.
08:32
It was more like a restaurant.
139
496650
2311
Bio je više kao restoran.
08:34
Cabin restaurants, as they're known in the trade,
140
498961
2260
Kabinski restorani, kako se za njih zna u ovom poslu,
08:37
are venues for forced prostitution.
141
501221
2622
su glavno mesto za prinudnu prostituciju.
08:39
Each has small, private rooms, where the slaves,
142
503843
3032
Svaki ima male, privatne sobe, gde su robovi,
08:42
women, along with young girls and boys,
143
506875
2631
žene sa mladim devojčicama i dečacima,
08:45
some as young as seven years old,
144
509506
2779
neki od njih imaju samo sedam godina,
08:48
are forced to entertain the clients,
145
512285
1990
naterani da zabavljaju mušterije
08:50
encouraging them to buy more food and alcohol.
146
514275
3780
i da ih ohrabruju da kupe još hrane i alkohola.
08:53
Each cubicle is dark and dingy,
147
518055
3039
Svaka kabina je mračna i prljava,
08:56
identified with a painted number on the wall,
148
521094
3939
prepoznaje se po naslikanom broju na zidu
09:00
and partitioned by plywood and a curtain.
149
525033
4105
i podeljena je šperpločom i zavesom.
09:05
The workers here often endure tragic sexual abuse
150
529138
3551
Radnice ovde obično pretrpe tragično,
seksualno zlostavljanje
seksualno zlostavljanje
09:08
at the hands of their customers.
151
532689
2582
u rukama svojih mušterija.
09:11
Standing in the near darkness, I remember feeling
152
535271
3066
Dok sam stajala u gotovo potpunom mraku,
sećam se da sam osećala
sećam se da sam osećala
09:14
this quick, hot fear, and in that instant,
153
538337
4086
brzi, vreli strah i u tom trenutku
09:18
I could only imagine what it must be like
154
542423
2345
mogla sam samo da zamislim kako mora da je
09:20
to be trapped in that hell.
155
544768
2663
biti zarobljen u tom paklu.
09:23
I had only one way out: the stairs from where I'd come in.
156
547431
4602
Imala sam samo jedan izlaz, stepenište odakle sam ušla.
09:27
There were no back doors.
157
552033
1856
Nisu postojala zadnja vrata.
09:29
There were no windows large enough to climb through.
158
553889
2543
Nije bilo dovoljno velikih prozora
kroz koje bi moglo da se iskoči.
kroz koje bi moglo da se iskoči.
09:32
These people have no escape at all,
159
556432
4260
Ovi ljudi nisu imali uopšte izlaza
09:36
and as we take in such a difficult subject,
160
560692
3060
i dok razgovaramo o tako teškoj temi,
09:39
it's important to note that slavery, including sex trafficking,
161
563752
4611
važno je primetiti da se ropstvo,
uključujući i trgovinu belim robljem,
uključujući i trgovinu belim robljem,
09:44
occurs in our own backyard as well.
162
568363
2929
dešava i u našem dvorištu.
09:47
Tens of hundreds of people are enslaved in agriculture,
163
571292
4624
Desetine stotina ljudi su porobljeni u poljoprivredi,
09:51
in restaurants, in domestic servitude,
164
575916
2672
u restoranima, u služenju po kućama
09:54
and the list can go on.
165
578588
2632
i lista može da se niže.
09:57
Recently, the New York Times reported that
166
581220
2639
Skoro je New York Times objavio da
09:59
between 100,000 and 300,000 American children
167
583859
5806
je između 100 000 i 300 000 američke dece
10:05
are sold into sex slavery every year.
168
589665
3961
prodato u belo roblje svake godine.
10:09
It's all around us. We just don't see it.
169
593626
6543
Svuda je oko nas. Mi samo ne vidimo.
10:16
The textile industry is another one we often think of
170
600169
3382
Tekstilna industrija je često još jedna
industrija na koju pomislimo
industrija na koju pomislimo
10:19
when we hear about slave labor.
171
603551
2886
kada čujemo o ropstvu.
10:22
I visited villages in India where entire families were enslaved
172
606437
4323
Posetila sam sela u Indiji gde su čitave porodice porobljene
10:26
in the silk trade.
173
610760
2645
u industriji svile.
10:29
This is a family portrait.
174
613405
2292
Ovo je porodični portret.
10:31
The dyed black hands are the father, while the blue
175
615697
3888
Obojene crne ruke su očeve, dok su plave
10:35
and red hands are his sons.
176
619585
2789
i crvene, ruke njegovih sinova.
10:38
They mix dye in these big barrels,
177
622374
2724
Mešaju boju u ovim velikim buradima
10:40
and they submerge the silk into the liquid up to their elbows,
178
625098
3965
i uranjaju svilu u tečnost do svojih laktova,
10:44
but the dye is toxic.
179
629063
4962
ali boja je otrovna.
10:49
My interpreter told me their stories.
180
634025
3305
Moj prevodilac mi je ispričao njihove priče.
10:53
"We have no freedom," they said.
181
637330
3602
"Nemamo slobodu", rekli su.
10:56
"We hope still, though, that we could leave this house
182
640932
3104
"Ipak se još uvek nadamo da ćemo
moći da napustimo ovu kuću
moći da napustimo ovu kuću
10:59
someday and go someplace else
183
644036
1654
jednoga dana i da odemo negde drugde
11:01
where we actually get paid for our dyeing."
184
645690
6664
gde bismo bili plaćeni za bojenje."
11:08
It's estimated that more than 4,000 children
185
652354
4939
Procenjuje se da je više od 4 000 dece
11:13
are enslaved on Lake Volta,
186
657293
2157
porobljeno na jezeru Volta,
11:15
the largest man-made lake in the world.
187
659450
4086
najvećem veštačkom jezeru na svetu.
11:19
When we first arrived, I went to have a quick look.
188
663536
2974
Čim smo stigli, htela sam samo da bacim pogled.
11:22
I saw what seemed to be a family fishing on a boat,
189
666510
3368
Videla sam nešto što je izgledalo
kao porodica koja peca u čamcu,
kao porodica koja peca u čamcu,
11:25
two older brothers, some younger kids, makes sense right?
190
669878
4165
dva starija brata, nekoliko mlađe dece, ima smisla, zar ne?
11:29
Wrong. They were all enslaved.
191
674043
4048
Pogrešno. Svi su bili robovi.
11:33
Children are taken from their families
192
678091
2829
Deca su uzeta od svojih porodica,
11:36
and trafficked and vanished,
193
680920
2507
prodata su i nestala,
11:39
and they're forced to work endless hours on these boats
194
683427
2912
primorana su da rade nebrojeno mnogo sati na ovim čamcima
11:42
on the lake, even though they do not know how to swim.
195
686339
4547
na jezeru, iako ne znaju da plivaju.
11:46
This young child is eight years old.
196
690886
2335
Ovo dete ima osam godina.
11:49
He was trembling when our boat approached,
197
693221
2656
Tresao se kada mu se naš čamac približio,
11:51
frightened it would run over his tiny canoe.
198
695877
2655
prestrašen da će mu srušiti malecni kanu.
11:54
He was petrified he would be knocked in the water.
199
698532
3339
Uplašio se da ćemo ga prevrnuti u vodu.
11:57
The skeletal tree limbs submerged in Lake Volta
200
701871
3285
Skeletne grane drveta uranjale su u jezero Volte
12:01
often catch the fishing nets, and weary,
201
705156
3965
i često su hvatale ribolovačke mreže i premorenu,
12:05
frightened children are thrown into the water
202
709121
3733
prestrašenu decu bacaju u vodu
12:08
to untether the lines.
203
712854
2151
da otpetljaju mrežu.
12:10
Many of them drown.
204
715005
2847
Mnogi od njih se dave.
12:13
For as long as he can recall, he's been forced to work
205
717852
3340
Od kad zna za sebe, terali su ga da radi
12:17
on the lake.
206
721192
2173
na jezeru.
12:19
Terrified of his master, he will not run away,
207
723365
3464
Preplašen od svog gazde, neće pobeći
12:22
and since he's been treated with cruelty all his life,
208
726829
3488
i pošto su ga okrutno tretirali celog života,
12:26
he passes that down to the younger slaves
209
730317
2432
prenosi to mlađim robovima
12:28
that he manages.
210
732749
3005
kojima upravlja.
12:31
I met these boys at five in the morning,
211
735754
2104
Srela sam ove dečake u pet sati ujutru,
12:33
when they were hauling in the last of their nets,
212
737858
2461
kada su izvlačili jenu od poslednjih mreža,
12:36
but they had been working since 1 a.m.
213
740319
2861
s tim da su radili od jedan ujutru
12:39
in the cold, windy night.
214
743180
3575
po hladnoj, vetrovitoj noći.
12:42
And it's important to note that these nets weigh
215
746755
3266
Važno je naznačiti da su ove mreže teške
12:45
more than a thousand pounds when they're full of fish.
216
750021
4416
više od 400 kilograma kada su napunjene ribom.
12:50
I want to introduce you to Kofi.
217
754437
4503
Želim da vam predstavim Kofi.
12:54
Kofi was rescued from a fishing village.
218
758940
3246
Kofi je spašen iz ribarskog sela.
12:58
I met him at a shelter where Free the Slaves
219
762186
2592
Upoznala sam ga u skloništu gde Oslobodimo robove
13:00
rehabilitates victims of slavery.
220
764778
3929
rehabilituju žrtve ropstva.
13:04
Here he's seen taking a bath at the well,
221
768707
2081
Videli su ga kako se kupa na izvoru,
13:06
pouring big buckets of water over his head,
222
770788
2903
tako što se poliva velikim kofama preko glave
13:09
and the wonderful news is,
223
773691
1921
i predivna vest je,
13:11
as you and I are sitting here talking today,
224
775612
1998
dok vi i ja sedimo danas ovde i pričamo,
13:13
Kofi has been reunited with his family,
225
777610
3235
Kofi je ponovo sa svojom porodicom
13:16
and what's even better, his family has been given tools
226
780845
3152
i što je još bolje, njegovoj porodici su dali alate
13:19
to make a living and to keep their children safe.
227
783997
5727
da bi zaradili za život i da bi im deca bila bezbedna.
13:25
Kofi is the embodiment of possibility.
228
789724
4453
Kofi je otelotvorenje mogućnosti.
13:30
Who will he become because someone took a stand
229
794177
4571
Ko će postati jer se neko založio
13:34
and made a difference in his life?
230
798748
3592
i promenio nešto u njegovom životu?
13:38
Driving down a road in Ghana
231
802340
2228
Vozeći se putem u Gani
13:40
with partners of Free the Slaves,
232
804568
2088
sa partnerima iz Oslobodimo robove,
13:42
a fellow abolitionist on a moped suddenly sped up
233
806656
3042
partner abolicionist na motoru, odjednom je ubrzao
13:45
to our cruiser and tapped on the window.
234
809698
2947
do našeg džipa i pokucao nam na prozor.
13:48
He told us to follow him down a dirt road into the jungle.
235
812645
4780
Rekao nam je da ga pratimo niz prašnjavi put u džunglu.
13:53
At the end of the road, he urged us out of the car,
236
817425
2789
Na kraju puta, požurio nas je da izađemo iz auta
13:56
and told the driver to quickly leave.
237
820214
2679
i rekao vozaču da brzo ode.
13:58
Then he pointed toward this barely visible footpath,
238
822893
3345
Zatim je pokazao na jedva vidljivu stazu
14:02
and said, "This is the path, this is the path. Go."
239
826238
3897
i rekao: "Ovo je staza, ovo je staza. Idite."
14:06
As we started down the path, we pushed aside the vines
240
830135
3669
Kako smo išli niz stazu, gurali smo sa strane puzavicu,
14:09
blocking the way, and after about an hour of walking in,
241
833804
3800
koja je blokirala put i nakon skoro sat vremena hoda,
14:13
found that the trail had become flooded by recent rains,
242
837604
5526
otkrili smo da je staza poplavljena skorim kišama,
14:19
so I hoisted the photo gear above my head
243
843130
1816
podigla sam fotografsku opremu iznad glave
14:20
as we descended into these waters up to my chest.
244
844946
4586
dok smo se spuštali u ovu vodu koja mi je dosegla do grudi.
14:25
After another two hours of hiking, the winding trail
245
849532
3785
Nakon dodatnih dva sata hodanja, krivudava staza
14:29
abruptly ended at a clearing, and before us
246
853317
4296
se odjednom završila na proplanku i ispred nas
14:33
was a mass of holes
247
857613
2016
bilo je mnoštvo rupa,
14:35
that could fit into the size of a football field,
248
859629
3820
koje su mogle da stanu u veličinu fudbalskog terena
14:39
and all of them were full of enslaved people laboring.
249
863449
5594
i sve su bile pune porobljenih ljudi koji su radili.
14:44
Many women had children strapped to their backs
250
869043
3145
Mnoge žene su imale decu zavezanu na leđima,
14:48
while they were panning for gold,
251
872188
2040
dok su one tražile zlato
14:50
wading in water poisoned by mercury.
252
874228
4303
i gacale po vodi otrovnoj od žive.
14:54
Mercury is used in the extraction process.
253
878531
4878
Živa se koristi u procesu vađenja.
14:59
These miners are enslaved in a mine shaft
254
883409
3156
Ovi rudari su porobljeni u oknu ridnika
15:02
in another part of Ghana.
255
886565
3074
u drugom delu Gane.
15:05
When they came out of the shaft, they were soaking wet
256
889639
2821
Kada su izašli iz okna, bili su mokri do gole kože
15:08
from their own sweat.
257
892460
2278
od sopstvenog znoja.
15:10
I remember looking into their tired, bloodshot eyes,
258
894738
4003
Sećam se da sam gledala njihove umorne, krvave oči,
15:14
for many of them had been underground for 72 hours.
259
898741
5741
mnogi su bili ispod zemlje 72 sata.
15:20
The shafts are up to 300 feet deep, and they carry out
260
904482
3975
Okna su i do 90 metara duboka i oni iznose
15:24
heavy bags of stone that later will be transported
261
908457
3569
teške torbe kamenja, koje će kasnije biti prenesene
15:27
to another area, where the stone will be pounded
262
912026
2601
u drugu zonu, gde će kamen biti izlupan
15:30
so that they can extract the gold.
263
914627
3945
da bi se iz njega moglo izvući zlato.
15:34
At first glance, the pounding site seems full
264
918572
4105
Na prvi pogled, mesto za lupanje kamena izgleda puno
15:38
of powerful men, but when we look closer,
265
922677
4893
moćnih ljudi, ali kada bolje pogledamo,
15:43
we see some less fortunate working on the fringes,
266
927570
4867
vidimo neke manje srećne kako rade na ivici,
15:48
and children too.
267
932437
2143
kao i decu.
15:50
All of them are victim to injury, illness and violence.
268
934580
7142
Svi oni su žrtve povreda, bolesti i nasilja.
15:57
In fact, it's very likely that this muscular person
269
941722
3980
Zapravo, vrlo je verovatno da će ova mišićava osoba
16:01
will end up like this one here, racked with tuberculosis
270
945702
4535
završiti kao ova ovde, iscrpljena od tuberkuloze
16:06
and mercury poisoning in just a few years.
271
950237
4971
i od trovanja živom za samo nekoliko godina.
16:11
This is Manuru. When his father died,
272
955208
4277
Ovo je Manuru. Kada mu je otac umro,
16:15
his uncle trafficked him to work with him in the mines.
273
959485
3082
ujak ga je prodao da radi sa njim u rudnicima.
16:18
When his uncle died, Manuru inherited his uncle's debt,
274
962567
4596
Kada mu je ujak umro, Manuru je nasledio dug svog ujaka,
16:23
which further forced him into being enslaved in the mines.
275
967163
4942
što ga je dodatno teralo da bude porobljen u rudnicima.
16:28
When I met him, he had been working in the mines
276
972105
2833
Kada sam ga upoznala, radio je u rudnicima
16:30
for 14 years, and the leg injury that you see here
277
974938
4793
14 godina i povreda noge koju vidite ovde
16:35
is actually from a mining accident,
278
979731
2013
je zapravo od nezgode u rudniku,

one so severe doctors say his leg should be amputated.

koja je toliko ozbiljna, da doktori kažu
da bi trebalo da bude amputirana.
da bi trebalo da bude amputirana.

On top of that, Manuru has tuberculosis,
280
986877

I pored svega toga, Manuru ima tuberkulozu,
16:46
yet he's still forced to work day in and day out
281
990827
3044
uprkos čemu ga teraju da radi stalno
16:49
in that mine shaft.
282

u tom rudničkom oknu.
16:52
Even still, he has a dream that he will become free
283
996115
5163
Bez obzira na sve to, sanja da će postati slobodan
16:57
and become educated with the help of local activists
284
1001278
3113
i postati obrazovan uz pomoć lokalnih aktivista,
17:00
like Free the Slaves,
285
1004391
2428
kao što su Oslobodimo robove.
17:02
and it's this sort of determination,
286
1006819
2352
I upravo me njegova odlučnost,
17:05
in the face of unimaginable odds,
287
1009171
3878
uprkos nezamislivim okolnostima,
17:08
that fills me with complete awe.
288
1013049
7360
ispunjava strahopoštovanjem.
17:16
I want to shine a light on slavery.
289
1020409

Želim da osvetlim ropstvo.
17:19
When I was working in the field,
290
1023709
2255
Kada sam radila na polju,
17:21
I brought lots of candles with me,
291
1025964
2681
donela sam mnogo sveća sa sobom
17:24
and with the help of my interpreter,
292
1028645
2722
i uz pomoć mog prevodioca,
17:27
I imparted to the people I was photographing
293
1031367
2316
podelila sam ljudima koje sam fotografisala,
17:29
that I wanted to illuminate their stories
294
1033683
3111
čije sam priče želela da prosvetlim
17:32
and their plight,
295
1036794
2067
i njihov položaj,
17:34
so when it was safe for them, and safe for me,
296
1038861
3505
tako da sam, kada je bilo bezbedno za njih i za mene,
17:38
I made these images.
297
1042366
3341
napravila ove slike.
17:41
They knew their image would be seen
298
1045707
2233
Znali su da ćete njihovu sliku videti
17:43
by you out in the world.
299
1047940
1829
vi koji ste negde u svetu.
17:45
I wanted them to know that we will be bearing witness
300
1049769
3744
Želela sam da znaju da ćemo im biti živi svedoci
17:49
to them, and that we will do whatever we can
301
1053513
3929
i da ćemo učiniti sve što možemo
17:53
to help make a difference in their lives.
302
1057442
4690
da pomognemo da promenimo nešto u njihovim životima.
17:58
I truly believe, if we can see one another
303
1062132
3480
Zaista verujem, ako možemo jedni druge da vidimo
18:01
as fellow human beings, then it becomes very difficult
304
1065612
4484
kao jednaka ljudska bića, onda postaje vrlo teško
18:05
to tolerate atrocities like slavery.
305
1070096
5204
tolerisati grozote kao što je ropstvo.
18:11
These images are not of issues. They are of people,
306
1075300
3684
Ove slike nisu slike problema. To su slike ljudi,
18:14
real people, like you and me, all deserving
307
1078984
3265
stvarnih ljudi, kao što smo vi i ja i svi zaslužuju
18:18
of the same rights, dignity and respect
308
1082249
3480
jednaka prava, dostojanstvo i poštovanje
18:21
in their lives.
309
1085729
2229
tokom svog života.
18:23
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think
310
1087958
3235
Nema dana da prođe, a da ne pomislim
18:27
of these many beautiful, mistreated people
311
1091193
5279
na ove mnogobrojne, prelepe ljude
prema kojima se loše ophodi,
prema kojima se loše ophodi,
18:32
I've had the tremendous honor of meeting.
312
1096472
4569
a koje sam imala ogromnu čast da upoznam.
18:36
I hope that these images awaken a force
313
1101041
3530
Nadam se da će ove slike da probude silu
18:40
in those who view them, people like you,
314
1104571
3046
u onima koji ih vide, ljudima kao što ste vi
18:43
and I hope that force will ignite a fire,
315
1107617
4276
i nadam se da će ta sila da raspali vatru
18:47
and that fire will shine a light on slavery,
316
1111893
4923
i ta će vatra osvetliti ropstvo,
18:52
for without that light, the beast of bondage
317
1116816
4009
jer bez te vatre, zver ropstva
18:56
can continue to live in the shadows.
318
1120825
3184
može da nastavi da živi u senkama.
18:59
Thank you very much.

Hvala vam puno.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Lisa Kristine - PhotographerLisa Kristine uses photography to expose deeply human stories.
Why you should listen
Lisa Kristine took an early interest in anthropology and 19th-century photographic printing techniques -- passions that have since predominated her work. In 1999, and again in 2000, she presented her photography at the State of the World Forum. In 2003, she published her first book, A Human Thread, capturing and "intimate and honest portrait of humanity." In 2007, her second book, This Moment, won the bronze metal at the Independent Publisher Book Awards. She also produced two documentary films to accompany each book -- exposing her techniques and the stories behind her photographs. In 2010, Kristine travelled the world in collaboration with Free the Slaves to document the harrowing lives of the enslaved. Slavery was published in 2010.
