Iqbal

For the children of Hussain's carpet factory, Iqbal Masih's arrival is both the end of hope and its beginning. It is Iqbal who tells them that their families' debt will never be cancelled and that their master plans to keep them as slaves indefinitely. But it is also Iqbal who is brave enough to plan their escape - and to encourage the children to stand together against their master's injustice. Based on a true story, this fictionalised account is told through the
voice of Fatima, a young Pakistani girl whose life is changed by Iqbal's courage.
