SHORT FILM: NICU
He is broken, he is lonely, a slave, aged just 9.
Thousands of children are trafficked into the UK each year. One of them is ‘Nicu’. As he writes an imaginary letter home to his mother in Romania, his descriptions of wealth are far removed from the miserable reality of his life of exploitation. This ‘better life’ his parents pushed for him to have, has stolen his innocence. He is broken, he is lonely, a slave, aged just 9.
