"Slavery - The game" is a viral: official statement Dutch public broadcaster NTR

It turns out that the highly controversial game trailer 'Slavery -- The Game', that was launched September 1st, is in fact a viral. The trailer shows how gamers may trade slaves, conquer countries and even choose their means of torture and their personal burning marks. It was revealed today that the notorious trailer is fictional.

The purpose of the trailer is firstly to confront people with an important, but often-neglected part of history. Secondly, the trailer aims to increase awareness about the existence of present-day slavery.

From Sunday September 18 onwards, Dutch public broadcaster NTR brings a TV series called 'De Slavernij' ('Slavery' in Dutch). This explicit TV series shows both the obscure past as well as the present situation considering slavery.
