No Way Out. Radu and Cosmina Hendre sit on their bed in their one-room clay home without electricty, running water, or even a door in Cheriu, Romania on May 14, 2013. With debts of nearly $1,000 (US) owed to Romani money lenders, Radu is unable to travel to the nearby city of Oradea to find work, as the lenders have vowed to kill him if he is caught.
