Ooberfuse mark International Day for the Abolition of Slavery with video
To mark the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery on 2 December 2012 Ooberfuse are set to release a harrowing new music video of their heart-rending trip-hop lament Rescue inspired by UK human-trafficking survivor Sophie Hayes.
Through haunting melodies and disturbing visuals Rescue draws you into the world of someone trafficked unleashing the emotional turmoil induced by human slavery. Rescue can be heard and viewed here : http://youtu.be/0GeXjHA7eGM
Cherrie, front-woman of ooberfuse, whose disturbing visual portrayal of the emotional impact of human trafficking is the main feature of the video, says : 'when I was living in Manila a close friend of mine disappeared one day. It turned out that she had been kidnapped and trafficked to a remote part of Far East Asia to be forced into degrading domestic servitude which included sexual exploitation. It was the horror of human trafficking that inspired the song Rescue. During the video shoot I was recalling my close friend's terrifying ordeal when quite suddenly something broke inside me and I was overwhelmed by a tidal surge of emotion.'
