This immersive, slow-paced documentary dives deep into the daily horrors and quiet rebellions of those who built a nation but were never meant to be part of it.From forced labor to failed uprisings, cruel punishments to conditional "freedom," this video explores the system designed to break people — and the ones who endured anyway.🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep ToolsLooking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
