The Sugar Babies

Released: 2007Runtime: 95 min

Documentary

The Sugar Babies examines the moral cost of sugar from the perspective of Haitian-descended children of sugarcane cutters in the Dominican Republic, highlighting the denial of their basic human rights and the exploitation akin to modern-day slavery. This feature-length documentary exposes those profiting from human trafficking and labor exploitation while showcasing the lives of those trapped in these conditions. Featuring field testimonies, hidden camera footage, and interviews with prominent figures such as Haiti’s Ambassador Raymond Joseph, U.S. Ambassador John Miller, anthropologist Sidney Mintz, and human rights advocates, the film brings attention to a critical humanitarian crisis.
