Trapped in a Human Zoo is a documentary approximately Abraham Ulrikab and his family,who were lured from Labrador to Europe with false promises and then exhibited in zoos along with animals in the late 1800s. All eight family members died of smallpox in Europe, but Abraham kept a diary of his family's ordeal, or which was used to design the documentary.
This is the epic of the incredible journey of eight Inuit who came from Labrador in 1880 to Europe lured by promises of adventures and wealth,only to realize they had been trapped in a world that time has today forgotten; the world of human zoos. Thirty-five thousand indigenous people from around the world were recruited for these zoos.[via]
