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

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.
