00:16
I'm 150 feet down an illegal mine shaft in Ghana.
0
723
6400
我在加納地下50米深的一個非法礦井裡
00:23
The air is thick with heat and dust,
1
7123
4121
空氣污濁悶熱，充斥著塵土
00:27
and it's hard to breathe.
2
11244
3409
讓人很難呼吸
00:30
I can feel the brush of sweaty bodies passing me
3
14653
3262
我可以感覺到來來往往大汗淋漓的人們從我身邊擦過
00:33
in the darkness, but I can't see much else.
4
17915
4246
但是在一片黑暗中，我也看不見什麼其他的東西了
00:38
I hear voices talking, but mostly the shaft
5
22161
3970
我聽到周圍有人說話的聲音
00:42
is this cacophony of men coughing,
6
26131
3988
但更多是咳嗽聲
00:46
and stone being broken with primitive tools.
7
30119
3911
混雜著用簡陋工具砸碎石頭的噪音
00:49
Like the others, I wear a flickering, cheap flashlight
8
34030
4055
跟其他人一樣，我頭上頂著一個時亮時滅的廉價探照燈
00:53
tied to my head with this elastic, tattered band,
9
38085
4796
用一條破爛的皮筋綁在脖子上
00:58
and I can barely make out the slick tree limbs
10
42881
3340
我勉強摸到牆上光溜溜的樹枝扶手
01:02
holding up the walls of the three-foot square hole
11
46221
3029
它們支撐著這個一米見方
01:05
dropping hundreds of feet into the earth.
12
49250
4626
深上百米的井筒
01:09
When my hand slips, I suddenly remember a miner
13
53876
3080
我的手滑了一下，立即想到數天前碰到的一名礦工
01:12
I had met days before who had lost his grip
14
56956
4281
他一手抓空
01:17
and fell countless feet down that shaft.
15
61237
4621
就掉下了無底深井
01:21
As I stand talking to you today,
16
65858
2531
當我今天站在這裡跟你們演講的時候
01:24
these men are still deep in that hole,
17
68389
3504
這些礦工們還在這樣的礦井裡
01:27
risking their lives without payment or compensation,
18
71893
3515
冒著生命危險幹活,沒有工資,沒有補貼
01:31
and often dying.
19
75408
3140
還經常丟命
01:34
I got to climb out of that hole, and I got to go home,
20
78548
5188
我最後爬出了礦井得以回家
01:39
but they likely never will, because they're trapped in slavery.
21
83736
6182
而這些被奴役的礦工可能永遠沒有回家的那一天
01:45
For the last 28 years, I've been documenting
22
89918
2907
在過去的28年裡我一直在拍攝本土文化的紀錄片
01:48
indigenous cultures in more than 70 countries
23
92825
2561
走訪了6大洲70多個國家
01:51
on six continents, and in 2009 I had the great honor
24
95386
3795
而在2009年，我非常榮幸地
01:55
of being the sole exhibitor at the Vancouver Peace Summit.
25
99181
4412
能以獨立參展商的身份出席了溫哥華和平峰會
01:59
Amongst all the astonishing people I met there,
26
103593
3572
在那裡我遇到了很多令人傾佩的人
02:03
I met a supporter of Free the Slaves, an NGO
27
107165
3170
我認識了一位Free the Slaves（解放奴隸）組織的支持者
02:06
dedicated to eradicating modern day slavery.
28
110335
5327
這個非政府組織致力於根除現代社會的奴役現象
02:11
We started talking about slavery, and really,
29
115662
2889
我們聊起了奴隸制度
02:14
I started learning about slavery,
30
118551
2864
而此時我才開始真正瞭解奴役的現實
02:17
for I had certainly known it existed in the world,
31
121415
3209
雖然我一直都知道世上奴隸制尚存
02:20
but not to such a degree.
32
124624
3011
但完全不知道事態的嚴重性
02:23
After we finished talking, I felt so horrible
33
127635
3743
在我們的談話結束後，我感覺非常的糟糕
02:27
and honestly ashamed at my own lack of knowledge
34
131378
3376
並且為自己對這樣殘暴的現象缺乏認知
02:30
of this atrocity in my own lifetime, and I thought,
35
134754
3510
感覺到慚愧
02:34
if I don't know, how many other people don't know?
36
138264
4868
我不知道，還有多少人也一樣不知道？
02:39
It started burning a hole in my stomach, so within weeks,
37
143132
3815
這個想法讓我坐立難安
02:42
I flew down to Los Angeles to meet with the director
38
146947
2976
幾周後我就飛去了洛杉磯
02:45
of Free the Slaves and offer them my help.
39
149923
3271
去見Free The Slaves組織的負責人，想要有所作為
02:49
Thus began my journey into modern day slavery.
40
153194
4570
由此開始了我深入現代奴隸制度的旅程
02:53
Oddly, I had been to many of these places before.
41
157764
3142
奇怪的是，很多地方我都去過
02:56
Some I even considered like my second home.
42
160906
3481
有的我還把它們當成是我的第二故鄉
03:00
But this time, I would see the skeletons hidden in the closet.
43
164387
7435
但是這一次，我要去挖掘那些見不得光的秘密
03:07
A conservative estimate tells us there are more than
44
171822
2305
據保守估計
03:10
27 million people enslaved in the world today.
45
174127
4155
當今全世界有超過2700萬人被奴役
03:14
That's double the amount of people taken from Africa
46
178282
3480
這個數字是在跨大西洋奴隸貿易中
03:17
during the entire trans-Atlantic slave trade.
47
181762
4125
從非洲被販賣的黑奴總數的兩倍
03:21
A hundred and fifty years ago, an agricultural slave
48
185887
3144
150年前，一個農奴的價格
03:24
cost about three times the annual salary
49
189031
3494
抵得上美國一名普通工人
03:28
of an American worker.
50
192525
2746
年薪的三倍
03:31
That equates to about $50,000 in today's money.
51
195271
3993
相當於今天的5萬美金
03:35
Yet today, entire families can be enslaved for generations
52
199264
4392
但是在今天，一整個家庭被世代奴役的代價
03:39
over a debt as small as $18.
53
203656
4868
可能就只有18美金的欠債
03:44
Astonishingly, slavery generates profits
54
208524
3032
讓人震驚的是，奴隸在全球產生的利潤
03:47
of more than $13 billion worldwide each year.
55
211556
5746
每年超過130億美金
03:53
Many have been tricked by false promises
56
217302
2852
他們當中很多人都是被虛假承諾所騙
03:56
of a good education, a better job, only to find
57
220154
4546
輕信所謂好的教育機會、所謂好的工作機會
04:00
that they're forced to work without pay
58
224700
3508
而被迫無償工作
04:04
under the threat of violence, and they cannot walk away.
59
228208
5668
經受暴力威脅，並且無法逃脫
04:09
Today's slavery is about commerce,
60
233876
3282
今天的奴隸制度關乎商業利益
04:13
so the goods that enslaved people produce have value,
61
237158
4030
奴隸製造的商品具有價值
04:17
but the people producing them are disposable.
62
241188
4998
但是創造價值的人卻是被隨意處置的
04:22
Slavery exists everywhere, nearly, in the world,
63
246186
4390
奴隸制度存在於世上的幾乎每一個角落
04:26
and yet it is illegal everywhere in the world.
64
250576
6967
即使它無論在何處都是違法的
04:33
In India and Nepal, I was introduced to the brick kilns.
65
257543
4790
在印度和尼泊爾，我被帶到磚窯裡
04:38
This strange and awesome sight was like
66
262333
2791
那裡的景象極其怪異
04:41
walking into ancient Egypt or Dante's Inferno.
67
265124
3890
感覺就像走進了古埃及或者但丁描述的地獄
04:44
Enveloped in temperatures of 130 degrees,
68
269014
4151
在50多攝氏度的高溫中
04:49
men, women, children, entire families in fact,
69
273165
4095
男人，女人，小孩，事實上是一整個家庭
04:53
were cloaked in a heavy blanket of dust,
70
277260
3151
在厚厚的灰塵籠罩下
04:56
while mechanically stacking bricks on their head,
71
280411
2620
機械地把磚塊往自己的頭頂上壘
04:58
up to 18 at a time, and carrying them
72
283031
3121
每次疊上18塊
05:02
from the scorching kilns to trucks hundreds of yards away.
73
286152
4950
然後搬運到離磚窯幾百米遠的卡車上
05:07
Deadened by monotony and exhaustion,
74
291102
3527
單調和疲憊消磨著他們
05:10
they work silently, doing this task over and over
75
294629
5585
他們安靜著勞動著，一遍又一遍的幹著同樣的活
05:16
for 16 or 17 hours a day.
76
300214
3353
一天16到17個小時
05:19
There were no breaks for food, no water breaks,
77
303567
3719
中途不能休息，不能吃飯，不能喝水
05:23
and the severe dehydration made urinating
78
307286
2552
由於極度的缺水
05:25
pretty much inconsequential.
79
309838
2872
他們基本上也不需要上廁所
05:28
So pervasive was the heat and the dust
80
312710
2432
由於那裡面的悶熱和塵土
05:31
that my camera became too hot to even touch
81
315142
3751
我的相機燙得沒法拿
05:34
and ceased working.
82
318893
2452
也無法運轉
05:37
Every 20 minutes, I'd have to run back to our cruiser
83
321345
2772
每20分鐘，我就必須跑回車上
05:40
to clean out my gear and run it under an air conditioner
84
324117
3349
清理我的設備，讓它在空調底下吹著冷氣
05:43
to revive it, and as I sat there,
85
327466
3055
它才能重新啟動
05:46
I thought, my camera is getting far better treatment
86
330521
4610
我坐在車上想，就連攝像機受到的待遇
05:51
than these people.
87
335131
2326
都比這些活生生的人要好得多
05:53
Back in the kilns, I wanted to cry,
88
337457
2872
我回到窯裡、我覺得非常想哭 ，
05:56
but the abolitionist next to me quickly grabbed me
89
340329
3178
回到窯內，我忍不住想哭
05:59
and he said, "Lisa, don't do that. Just don't do that here."
90
343507
4304
他說，"麗莎，不要哭。千萬不要在這裡哭。
06:03
And he very clearly explained to me that emotional displays
91
347811
3893
然後他跟我解釋
06:07
are very dangerous in a place like this,
92
351704
2534
在這樣的地方抒發自己的情緒是很危險的
06:10
not just for me, but for them.
93
354238
3854
不僅對我而言危險，對這些工人們也是
06:13
I couldn't offer them any direct help.
94
358092
3650
我沒有辦法給他們提供任何直接的幫助
06:17
I couldn't give them money, nothing.
95
361742
2793
我不能給他們錢，我什麼也給不了
06:20
I wasn't a citizen of that country.
96
364535
1797
我不是那個國家的公民
06:22
I could get them in a worse situation
97
366332
3088
我的行為很有可能
06:25
than they were already in.
98
369420
2780
會讓他們的境遇比現在更糟
06:28
I'd have to rely on Free the Slaves to work
99
372200
2256
我只能指望Free the Slaves組織能夠在體系內發揮作用
06:30
within the system for their liberation,
100
374456
2842
解放他們
06:33
and I trusted that they would.
101
377298
3469
我相信他們可以做到
06:36
As for me, I'd have to wait until I got home
102
380767
3437
就我來說，我必須等回到家以後
06:40
to really feel my heartbreak.
103
384204
3962
才能去品嘗這份心痛
06:44
In the Himalayas, I found children carrying stone
104
388166
2873
在喜馬拉雅，我見到了做苦力的小孩
06:46
for miles down mountainous terrain
105
391039
2750
背著石頭走上幾公里的山路
06:49
to trucks waiting at roads below.
106
393789
2898
到路邊等著的卡車旁
06:52
The big sheets of slate were heavier
107
396687
2518
那些大石板
06:55
than the children carrying them,
108
399205
2666
比搬運石板的孩子還要重
06:57
and the kids hoisted them from their heads
109
401871
2029
孩子們用樹枝，繩子，破爛的衣服製成背帶
06:59
using these handmade harnesses of sticks and rope
110
403900
4444
把石板
07:04
and torn cloth.
111
408344
1847
綁在自己身上
07:06
It's difficult to witness something so overwhelming.
112
410191
3675
目睹這樣沉甸甸的場景是一件極其痛苦的事
07:09
How can we affect something so insidious,
113
413866
2647
我們怎麼才能幹預這些隱藏於輿論之外
07:12
yet so pervasive?
114
416513
3212
但卻堪稱普遍的惡事？
07:15
Some don't even know they're enslaved,
115
419725
2712
一些人甚至都不認為他們自己在被人奴役
07:18
people working 16, 17 hours a day without any pay,
116
422437
5006
每天工作十六七個小時 得不到半點酬勞
07:23
because this has been the case all their lives.
117
427443
3213
因為他們生來就過著這樣的日子
07:26
They have nothing to compare it to.
118
430656
4282
沒有任何比較
07:30
When these villagers claimed their freedom,
119
434938
3374
如果這些人要為自己爭取自由
07:34
the slaveholders burned down all of their houses.
120
438312
5415
奴隸主就燒掉他們所有的房子
07:39
I mean, these people had nothing,
121
443727
1962
這些人一無所有
07:41
and they were so petrified, they wanted to give up,
122
445689
3649
他們嚇壞了，他們想要放棄
07:45
but the woman in the center rallied for them to persevere,
123
449338
4047
但是照片中間這位女士團結眾人堅持到底
07:49
and abolitionists on the ground
124
453385
1496
在當地的廢奴主義者
07:50
helped them get a quarry lease of their own,
125
454881
2659
幫助他們爭取採石場的租約
07:53
so that now they do the same back-breaking work,
126
457540
3113
這樣，他們繼續幹著同樣的重活
07:56
but they do it for themselves, and they get paid for it,
127
460653
4507
但現在是為自己而幹，能拿到酬勞
08:01
and they do it in freedom.
128
465160
3423
他們擁有了自由
08:04
Sex trafficking is what we often think of
129
468583
2068
非法性交易
08:06
when we hear the word slavery,
130
470651
1901
是我們在聽到奴役時最常聯想到的
08:08
and because of this worldwide awareness,
131
472552
1959
因為全球皆知
08:10
I was warned that it would be difficult for me to work safely
132
474511
3136
我曾被警告說，若我堅持拍攝這個行業
08:13
within this particular industry.
133
477647
2822
人身安全將難以得到保障
08:16
In Kathmandu, I was escorted by women who had
134
480469
2842
在加德滿都
08:19
previously been sex slaves themselves.
135
483311
3536
我由一些從前是性奴的女人隨護
08:22
They ushered me down a narrow set of stairs
136
486847
2358
她們帶著我走下一段段狹窄的樓梯
08:25
that led to this dirty, dimly fluorescent lit basement.
137
489205
5613
到了一個骯髒昏暗的地下室
08:30
This wasn't a brothel, per se.
138
494818
1832
這裡本身不是一間妓院
08:32
It was more like a restaurant.
139
496650
2311
它更像是間餐廳
08:34
Cabin restaurants, as they're known in the trade,
140
498961
2260
包廂餐廳在業內被人熟知
08:37
are venues for forced prostitution.
141
501221
2622
是強迫賣淫的場所
08:39
Each has small, private rooms, where the slaves,
142
503843
3032
一個個小隔間裡，性奴們
08:42
women, along with young girls and boys,
143
506875
2631
女人和小孩
08:45
some as young as seven years old,
144
509506
2779
有些只有七歲大
08:48
are forced to entertain the clients,
145
512285
1990
被迫取悅客戶
08:50
encouraging them to buy more food and alcohol.
146
514275
3780
好讓他們消費更多的食物和酒
08:53
Each cubicle is dark and dingy,
147
518055
3039
每個小隔間都很暗很髒
08:56
identified with a painted number on the wall,
148
521094
3939
牆上畫著號碼
09:00
and partitioned by plywood and a curtain.
149
525033
4105
由三夾板和窗簾隔開
09:05
The workers here often endure tragic sexual abuse
150
529138
3551
在這裡工作的人
09:08
at the hands of their customers.
151
532689
2582
通常都要忍受客人們殘忍的性虐待
09:11
Standing in the near darkness, I remember feeling
152
535271
3066
記得當時站在幾乎是一片黑暗當中
09:14
this quick, hot fear, and in that instant,
153
538337
4086
我刹那間感到一陣強烈的恐懼
09:18
I could only imagine what it must be like
154
542423
2345
那一刻我在想
09:20
to be trapped in that hell.
155
544768
2663
被困在這個地獄裡是多麼的恐怖
09:23
I had only one way out: the stairs from where I'd come in.
156
547431
4602
這裡只有一個出口：就是我來時走過的樓梯
09:27
There were no back doors.
157
552033
1856
沒有後門
09:29
There were no windows large enough to climb through.
158
553889
2543
沒有能過人的窗戶
09:32
These people have no escape at all,
159
556432
4260
這些人完全無法逃跑
09:36
and as we take in such a difficult subject,
160
560692
3060
當我們面對如此艱難的課題
09:39
it's important to note that slavery, including sex trafficking,
161
563752
4611
重要的是要知道奴役，包括非法性交易
09:44
occurs in our own backyard as well.
162
568363
2929
在我們的後院裡同樣存在
09:47
Tens of hundreds of people are enslaved in agriculture,
163
571292
4624
幾千人成為農奴
09:51
in restaurants, in domestic servitude,
164
575916
2672
餐館奴工、家庭奴工
09:54
and the list can go on.
165
578588
2632
還不止這些
09:57
Recently, the New York Times reported that
166
581220
2639
最近，紐約時報報導
09:59
between 100,000 and 300,000 American children
167
583859
5806
美國每年有10萬到30萬小孩
10:05
are sold into sex slavery every year.
168
589665
3961
被買賣成為性奴
10:09
It's all around us. We just don't see it.
169
593626
6543
這些事就發生在我們身邊，我們只是不知道罷了
10:16
The textile industry is another one we often think of
170
600169
3382
紡織業
10:19
when we hear about slave labor.
171
603551
2886
也是我們聽到奴役勞動時經常聯想到的
10:22
I visited villages in India where entire families were enslaved
172
606437
4323
我在印度拜訪過一個村子
10:26
in the silk trade.
173
610760
2645
家家戶戶都是絲綢貿易的奴隸
10:29
This is a family portrait.
174
613405
2292
這是一家人的“肖像”
10:31
The dyed black hands are the father, while the blue
175
615697
3888
那雙被染黑了的手屬於這家的父親
10:35
and red hands are his sons.
176
619585
2789
藍色和紅色的手屬於兩個兒子
10:38
They mix dye in these big barrels,
177
622374
2724
他們在大桶裡攪拌染料
10:40
and they submerge the silk into the liquid up to their elbows,
178
625098
3965
然後把絲綢深深地浸進去，直到染料淹到手肘
10:44
but the dye is toxic.
179
629063
4962
這些染料都是有毒的
10:49
My interpreter told me their stories.
180
634025
3305
翻譯告訴我他們的故事
10:53
"We have no freedom," they said.
181
637330
3602
“我們沒有自由”，他們說道
10:56
"We hope still, though, that we could leave this house
182
640932
3104
“可我們還是希望，哪天可以逃離這個屋子
10:59
someday and go someplace else
183
644036
1654
去其他的地方
11:01
where we actually get paid for our dyeing."
184
645690
6664
在那裡工作能拿到報酬”
11:08
It's estimated that more than 4,000 children
185
652354
4939
據估計，有超過4000名兒童
11:13
are enslaved on Lake Volta,
186
657293
2157
在沃爾特湖水庫被奴役
11:15
the largest man-made lake in the world.
187
659450
4086
那裡是世界上最大的人工湖
11:19
When we first arrived, I went to have a quick look.
188
663536
2974
一到那裡，我就去看了個大概
11:22
I saw what seemed to be a family fishing on a boat,
189
666510
3368
我看到似乎是一家人在船上捕魚
11:25
two older brothers, some younger kids, makes sense right?
190
669878
4165
兩個哥哥，幾個小點的孩子，挺像的吧？
11:29
Wrong. They were all enslaved.
191
674043
4048
錯！他們都是奴隸
11:33
Children are taken from their families
192
678091
2829
孩子們從家裡被帶出來
11:36
and trafficked and vanished,
193
680920
2507
被販賣
11:39
and they're forced to work endless hours on these boats
194
683427
2912
被迫在船上無休止的工作
11:42
on the lake, even though they do not know how to swim.
195
686339
4547
他們在湖上工作，甚至還不會游泳
11:46
This young child is eight years old.
196
690886
2335
這個小男孩8歲大
11:49
He was trembling when our boat approached,
197
693221
2656
當我們的船靠近的時候 他在發抖
11:51
frightened it would run over his tiny canoe.
198
695877
2655
他怕我們的船會撞上上他的獨木舟
11:54
He was petrified he would be knocked in the water.
199
698532
3339
他很害怕會掉到水裡
11:57
The skeletal tree limbs submerged in Lake Volta
200
701871
3285
湖面下浸著些樹的枝幹
12:01
often catch the fishing nets, and weary,
201
705156
3965
經常會掛住漁網
12:05
frightened children are thrown into the water
202
709121
3733
這些疲憊、害怕的孩子們就被扔到水中
12:08
to untether the lines.
203
712854
2151
去解開漁網
12:10
Many of them drown.
204
715005
2847
很多人都淹死了
12:13
For as long as he can recall, he's been forced to work
205
717852
3340
從他記事開始
12:17
on the lake.
206
721192
2173
就被迫在湖上工作
12:19
Terrified of his master, he will not run away,
207
723365
3464
他非常害怕主人，不敢逃跑
12:22
and since he's been treated with cruelty all his life,
208
726829
3488
由於他從小就被殘酷對待
12:26
he passes that down to the younger slaves
209
730317
2432
他也用同樣的方法
12:28
that he manages.
210
732749
3005
對待比他小的奴隸
12:31
I met these boys at five in the morning,
211
735754
2104
我在早上五點時看到這些男孩子們
12:33
when they were hauling in the last of their nets,
212
737858
2461
在收最後一個漁網
12:36
but they had been working since 1 a.m.
213
740319
2861
可他們從淩晨1點就開始工作了
12:39
in the cold, windy night.
214
743180
3575
在這樣寒冷，颳風的晚上
12:42
And it's important to note that these nets weigh
215
746755
3266
要知道這些漁網裝滿魚的時候
12:45
more than a thousand pounds when they're full of fish.
216
750021
4416
重量有上千斤啊！
12:50
I want to introduce you to Kofi.
217
754437
4503
我要介紹你們認識Kofi
12:54
Kofi was rescued from a fishing village.
218
758940
3246
他從一個漁村被解救出來
12:58
I met him at a shelter where Free the Slaves
219
762186
2592
見到他是在一個收容所裡
13:00
rehabilitates victims of slavery.
220
764778
3929
Free the Slaves組織用於複元奴役受害者的一個地方
13:04
Here he's seen taking a bath at the well,
221
768707
2081
照片上他正在井邊洗澡
13:06
pouring big buckets of water over his head,
222
770788
2903
把一桶桶水往頭上倒
13:09
and the wonderful news is,
223
773691
1921
好消息是
13:11
as you and I are sitting here talking today,
224
775612
1998
此時此刻
13:13
Kofi has been reunited with his family,
225
777610
3235
Kofi 已經和家人團聚了
13:16
and what's even better, his family has been given tools
226
780845
3152
更讓人欣喜的是，他們一家已能夠自己謀生
13:19
to make a living and to keep their children safe.
227
783997
5727
並確保孩子們的安全
13:25
Kofi is the embodiment of possibility.
228
789724
4453
Kofi 身上體現了一種可能性
13:30
Who will he become because someone took a stand
229
794177
4571
正因為有人表明了立場，影響了他的人生
13:34
and made a difference in his life?
230
798748
3592
他的未來才可能有所改變
13:38
Driving down a road in Ghana
231
802340
2228
開車行駛在加納的一條路上
13:40
with partners of Free the Slaves,
232
804568
2088
與Free the Slaves的夥伴一起
13:42
a fellow abolitionist on a moped suddenly sped up
233
806656
3042
一個騎著電單車的同行人突然加速
13:45
to our cruiser and tapped on the window.
234
809698
2947
靠近我們的車，敲著車窗
13:48
He told us to follow him down a dirt road into the jungle.
235
812645
4780
他讓我們跟他改走一條土路通向叢林
13:53
At the end of the road, he urged us out of the car,
236
817425
2789
在路的盡頭，他催促我們下車
13:56
and told the driver to quickly leave.
237
820214
2679
讓司機趕緊走
13:58
Then he pointed toward this barely visible footpath,
238
822893
3345
然後他指著地上一排很不明顯的腳印說
14:02
and said, "This is the path, this is the path. Go."
239
826238
3897
“就是這裡，就是這條路。走！”
14:06
As we started down the path, we pushed aside the vines
240
830135
3669
我們撥開擋路的藤蔓
14:09
blocking the way, and after about an hour of walking in,
241
833804
3800
徒步走了約一個小時
14:13
found that the trail had become flooded by recent rains,
242
837604
5526
小徑被近期的雨水淹沒了
14:19
so I hoisted the photo gear above my head
243
843130
1816
我把拍攝器材舉過頭頂
14:20
as we descended into these waters up to my chest.
244
844946
4586
趟著齊胸口深的水繼續走
14:25
After another two hours of hiking, the winding trail
245
849532
3785
又走了兩個小時
14:29
abruptly ended at a clearing, and before us
246
853317
4296
蜿蜒的小徑戛然而止
14:33
was a mass of holes
247
857613
2016
我們面前的空地上出現了一大片坑洞
14:35
that could fit into the size of a football field,
248
859629
3820
每個都有一個橄欖球場那麼大
14:39
and all of them were full of enslaved people laboring.
249
863449
5594
每個坑洞裡都有奴隸在工作
14:44
Many women had children strapped to their backs
250
869043
3145
很多婦女還背著自己的小孩
14:48
while they were panning for gold,
251
872188
2040
他們在淘金
14:50
wading in water poisoned by mercury.
252
874228
4303
在被汞污染的髒水裡行走
14:54
Mercury is used in the extraction process.
253
878531
4878
汞是用來提取金子的
14:59
These miners are enslaved in a mine shaft
254
883409
3156
這些人被奴役
15:02
in another part of Ghana.
255
886565
3074
在加納的另一處礦井裡
15:05
When they came out of the shaft, they were soaking wet
256
889639
2821
當他們走出礦井時
15:08
from their own sweat.
257
892460
2278
全身汗濕
15:10
I remember looking into their tired, bloodshot eyes,
258
894738
4003
我記得他們佈滿紅血絲的眼睛裡充滿疲憊
15:14
for many of them had been underground for 72 hours.
259
898741
5741
其中很多人已在井下工作72個小時
15:20
The shafts are up to 300 feet deep, and they carry out
260
904482
3975
這些井有差不多有90多米深
15:24
heavy bags of stone that later will be transported
261
908457
3569
他們抬出來裝滿重石的袋子
15:27
to another area, where the stone will be pounded
262
912026
2601
這些石頭被運送到另外一個區域被搗碎
15:30
so that they can extract the gold.
263
914627
3945
以便提取金子
15:34
At first glance, the pounding site seems full
264
918572
4105
乍看之下，砸石場的男人個個健壯
15:38
of powerful men, but when we look closer,
265
922677
4893
但我們湊近了卻發現
15:43
we see some less fortunate working on the fringes,
266
927570
4867
一些在邊緣地帶的工人身有殘疾
15:48
and children too.
267
932437
2143
還有一些小孩
15:50
All of them are victim to injury, illness and violence.
268
934580
7142
他們都是傷病暴力的受害者
15:57
In fact, it's very likely that this muscular person
269
941722
3980
事實上，這些肌肉強健的男人
16:01
will end up like this one here, racked with tuberculosis
270
945702
4535
若干年後很有可能會跟這個人一樣
16:06
and mercury poisoning in just a few years.
271
950237
4971
被汞中毒和肺結核苦苦折磨
16:11
This is Manuru. When his father died,
272
955208
4277
這是Manuru。當他父親死的時候
16:15
his uncle trafficked him to work with him in the mines.
273
959485
3082
他的叔叔把他賣到自己在工作的這個礦場
16:18
When his uncle died, Manuru inherited his uncle's debt,
274
962567
4596
在他叔叔死後，Manuru要繼續背負他叔叔的欠債
16:23
which further forced him into being enslaved in the mines.
275
967163
4942
他被迫繼續在礦場工作
16:28
When I met him, he had been working in the mines
276
972105
2833
我見到他時，他已在礦場工作了14年
16:30
for 14 years, and the leg injury that you see here
277
974938
4793
照片中看到的這個腿傷
16:35
is actually from a mining accident,
278
979731
2013
是在一次鑿礦意外中造成的
16:37
one so severe doctors say his leg should be amputated.
279
981744
5117
當時情況危急，醫生說要截肢
16:42
On top of that, Manuru has tuberculosis,
280
986877
3950
除了這個傷以外 他還患有肺結核
16:46
yet he's still forced to work day in and day out
281
990827
3044
即使這樣，他也必須每天
16:49
in that mine shaft.
282
993871
2244
在井下沒日沒夜的工作
16:52
Even still, he has a dream that he will become free
283
996115
5163
即使如此，他也夢想著能夠重獲自由
16:57
and become educated with the help of local activists
284
1001278
3113
在Free the Slaves這樣的組織幫助下
17:00
like Free the Slaves,
285
1004391
2428
接受教育
17:02
and it's this sort of determination,
286
1006819
2352
就是這樣的信念
17:05
in the face of unimaginable odds,
287
1009171
3878
來面對令人難以想像的苦難
17:08
that fills me with complete awe.
288
1013049
7360
讓我充滿敬畏
17:16
I want to shine a light on slavery.
289
1020409
3300
我希望我們給這些被奴隸的人一道光
17:19
When I was working in the field,
290
1023709
2255
在拍攝的途中
17:21
I brought lots of candles with me,
291
1025964
2681
我帶了很多蠟燭
17:24
and with the help of my interpreter,
292
1028645
2722
在翻譯的幫助下
17:27
I imparted to the people I was photographing
293
1031367
2316
我把蠟燭分給了我的拍攝對象
17:29
that I wanted to illuminate their stories
294
1033683
3111
我希望能點亮他們的故事
17:32
and their plight,
295
1036794
2067
和他們的困境
17:34
so when it was safe for them, and safe for me,
296
1038861
3505
當我們都安全的時候
17:38
I made these images.
297
1042366
3341
我拍了這一系列的照片
17:41
They knew their image would be seen
298
1045707
2233
他們知道這些影像
17:43
by you out in the world.
299
1047940
1829
會被外面的人看見
17:45
I wanted them to know that we will be bearing witness
300
1049769
3744
我想要讓他們知道，我們將為他們作證
17:49
to them, and that we will do whatever we can
301
1053513
3929
盡我們所能
17:53
to help make a difference in their lives.
302
1057442
4690
讓他們的人生有所改變
17:58
I truly believe, if we can see one another
303
1062132
3480
我確實相信
18:01
as fellow human beings, then it becomes very difficult
304
1065612
4484
當我們把他們當做同胞
18:05
to tolerate atrocities like slavery.
305
1070096
5204
就會很難容忍奴役這樣的暴行
18:11
These images are not of issues. They are of people,
306
1075300
3684
這些影像非關於議題，而是關於人
18:14
real people, like you and me, all deserving
307
1078984
3265
真實的人，和你我一樣
18:18
of the same rights, dignity and respect
308
1082249
3480
都值得在生命裡
18:21
in their lives.
309
1085729
2229

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.
