As a kid quite often I was told by elders,the practice of human slavery prevalent in Saudi Arabia before the advent of Islam. These tales dealt with,how Prophet Mohammed used to purchase slaves from their masters by paying off their cost and then set them free. It was only by around 2007,I got to see a visual representation of this narrative which I have listened since childhood. Mahesh Bhatt presented it in his 2007 film Awarapan, which features human slavery in the form of women trafficking,quite prevalent in poorer Indian States and neighbouring countries even today. A short visual in the hyperlink rightly brings out this theme of emancipation. 2 min playback. https://youtube/watch?v=vQ5rnqbEEMc
