浮俘 

脈輪是14歲，過着精疲力竭的生活。他、他的父母和他的許多兄弟姐妹都在柬埔寨的稻田裏一起工作。晚飯時，他們圍坐在小木屋裏的木桌旁，父子之間總是意見分歧。當一個朋友告訴查克拉在工廠賺錢的可能性時，這個男孩決定自己出發。但在途中，他落入了販運人口的魔掌，被販賣爲奴隸。在他現在必須工作的泰國漁船上，船長的政權既殘忍又武斷。暴力、酷刑甚至謀殺都是當今社會的當務之急。脈輪意識到他唯一的希望就是擺脫折磨他的人。 羅德·拉什金的第一部故事片是一部殘酷而現實的描述柬埔寨強迫勞工處境的電影。這位澳大利亞導演的方法遠遠不夠漂亮，無人能倖免。他的扣人心絃的電影是一個對社會不公正的激情見證，同時也是一個關於一個被考驗人性的男孩的令人感動和震驚的成年故事。 Chakra is 14 and leads an exhausting life. He, his parents and his many siblings all work together in the rice fields of Cambodia. At dinner, they crowd around the wooden table in their small hut, and there are always differences of opinion between father and son. When a friend tells Chakra about the possibility of earning money in a factory, the boy decides to set off on his own. But on the way, he falls into the clutches of human traffickers and is sold into slave labour. On the Thai fishing boat where he now has to work, the captain’s regime is both cruel and arbitrary. Violence, torture and even murder are the order of the day. Chakra realises that his only hope is to get rid of his tormentors. Rodd Rathjen’s first feature film is a brutal yet realistic depiction of the situation for Cambodian forced labourers. This Australian director’s approach is far from pretty and spares no-one. His gripping film is a passionate testimony against social injustice and, at the same time, a touching and shocking coming-of-age story about a boy whose humanity is put to the test.
