In the seventh episode of Film Magistery Dino talks about slavery throughout history. The Code of Hammurabi is mentioned, and so is the slavery in Africa, Europe and the United States.  And do we have slavery in modern times, here in 2017?

The reference to the concept of slavery is Steve McQueen's powerful film 12 Years A Slave (2013).
