'The Price of Free' follows the work of Nobel Peace Prize winner, and longtime crusader against child labour and slavery - Kailash Satyarthi. Taking the viewer on an emotional journey inside the hidden and overcrowded factories of India, it tells the story of the countless children who are forced into slave labour due to rising global demands for cheap goods. With the help of a covert network of informants, Kailash and his dedicated team carry out daring raids to rescue and rehabilitate these imprisoned children.

Hidden camera footage is intertwined with beautifully animated flashback sequences from Jason Carpenter to give us a truly personal look at some of the most tragic stories of Kailash's ‘Bachpan Bachao Andolan’ (Save the Childhood Movement). Their achievement has been remarkable, through aggressive lobbying as well as individual rescues they have played a huge role in shrinking India’s child worker estimate from twelve million to four. Equal parts harrowing and motivating; filmmaker Derek Doneen pulls us into Kailash’s gripping pursuits and relentless energy to create the change he wants to see in the world.
