Kept In A Cage & Forced To Dance Till She Died | Sara Baartman "The Hottentot Venus‪"‬ Macabre London

Sara or Saartjie Baartman spent her whole life under the rule of people who exploited her at every turn. Trafficked from South Africa her captors originally wanted her to be put on display as a living exhibit at the British Museum but when they refused, she was forced to dance on stage, night after night. As her popularity dwindled, she was forced by her "keepers" into the world of selling her body and from there, things became much worse.
Today on Macabre London, we’ll be uncovering the story of Sara Baartman "The Hottentot Venus"
