I found online that Iqbal Masih was and real person. He was sold to slavery when he was 4 years old in Pakistan's carpet industry. He toiled 12 hours a day, for 6 years. As he turned ten, he managed to escape with help of the bonded labor liberation front and began an activist against child labor. Because of him, thousands of children were saved from labor. Sadly, he was shot and passed away in 1995 when he was 12.
