Overseas is a documentary that sheds light on the issue of domestic slavery in the globalized world, focusing on women from The Philippines who are deployed abroad to work as domestic workers or nannies.
In this process, these women often have to leave their own children behind as they embrace the unknown challenges that await them in a foreign country.
At a learning center dedicated to domestic work, candidates undergo training to prepare themselves for homesickness and potential abuses they may face. Through role-playing exercises, they simulate both the worker's and employer's roles.
The documentary highlights the determination and sisterhood of these women, as well as the strategies they develop to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead in their journey as overseas domestic workers.
