In the Philippines, women get deployed abroad to work as domestic workers or nannies. They frequently leave their own children behind. Overseas examines the question of modern servitude in our globalized world. It emphasizes these women’s determination, their sisterhood, and the strategies they find to face the ordeals that await them.
