As a person who hates the ill effects of trafficking and one who advocates for the rights of the Filipino workers, I am elated to know that the story of Nanay Fedelina will be shown this October 25, 2020.
From Ging Reyes, ABS-CBN News Chief, Ging says, "This is a story of how much pain and abuse one human being can inflict on another. But also, of resilience, forgiveness and redemption.
Our
teams began working on this documentary 2 years ago. NA Bureau’s Steve
Angeles and Jeremiah Ysip covered the story of Nanay Fedelina, a
Filipina who worked as a slave for a Fil-Am family in California for 65
years! She was rescued by the FBI in 2018; the Pilipino Workers Center
helped her with housing and medical care.
Early this year, our
News DocuCentral team traveled to the US with Nanay Fedelina’s relatives
from the Philippines to witness their much-awaited reunion, and to find
out more about Nanay Fedelina’s incredible life and her path to
freedom. Our work was hobbled by COVID19 and our network’s shutdown. But
we were undaunted because hers is a story that must be told, no matter
what.
“Fedelina A Stolen Life” will touch your hearts and stay with you for a long time. "
