The film ''Products 24'' (''Convenience Store'') directed by Mikhail Borodin  has been included in the "Panorama" program of the Berlin International Film Festival, TASS reports.

The film made with the support of the Ministry of Culture of Russia and a number of organizations with the participation of co-producers from Turkey and Slovenia became the debut for the director.

"Products 24" is dedicated to the problem of migrants and modern slavery. The film reflects the real story of the liberation of women who were forced into slavery in one of Moscow malls ten years ago. The main roles were played by non-professional actors.

Mikhail Borodin said that he was glad that his film was included in the ''Panorama'' program, which traditionally shows the most relevant films.
