La Captive is the haunting portrait of a single immigrant mother who fights for a decent life.

Faced with the barriers of bureaucracy, prejudices, and inner despair she searches the depths of her soul for the strength to continue.

As much a musical journey as an emotional one, this is a story about despair, perseverance and triumph.

Accompanied by first-person witness accounts, La Captive brings the listener face to face with humanity’s lack of decency, empathy and compassion.
