## Synopsis

The White Slave (2016) is a Colombian telenovela-style period drama created by Eduardo Galdo and María Helena Porta for Caracol TV, a single season of sixty-two hour-long episodes. Nerea Camacho plays Victoria Quintero, a woman raised in secret by enslaved people in a colonial American city who was taken from them as a child and sent to Spain, where she grew up as a marchioness. Returning to the city under an assumed identity, she works to free the family who raised her and to confront the killer of her parents. Orian Suarez plays Miguel Nava Soler and Ricardo Vesga plays Enrique Morales, two men whose lives tangle with hers as her reunion with the man she would give her life for pulls against the danger of the plantation world she has walked back into. Each episode builds through schemes, confrontations and reversals of fortune, with a steady engine of disguise, risk and righteous determination. The mood is melodramatic and emotionally heightened, moving between injustice, grief and hope, with a strong moral line that everyone is the same colour. Fans of revenge dramas such as Revenge, and of period melodramas like Dona Beija, will find resonance in its romance, social injustice and heroine-driven justice arc.
