Maid in Lebanon II: Voices from Home

A 40-min documentary by Carol Mansour

This second documentary film targets the Lebanese public to generate a debate
on the role that women migrant domestic workers play in Lebanese households. The
film poses questions and suggests answers on workers' rights, employment
contracts and everyday terms and conditions of work. This documentary picks up
from where the first Maid in Lebanon left off, showcasing four stories of
Lebanese employers and their 'maids'.
