Call+Response, a new documentary on slavery and human trafficking by musician Justin Dillon, hits theaters this fall.
The film is fantastic--although if you do not like contemporary music, you may not care for the concert-like quality of film. It features performances by some of my favorite artists like Cold War Kids, Matisyahu, and Switchfoot. In addition to musicians and celebrities like Ashley Judd, several policy experts on human trafficking are interviewed including Gary Haugen and Discovery's own Ambassador John Miller.
The film is one of the most creative pieces of public education I've seen. If you want to learn more about modern-day slavery--where perhaps as many as 27 million people are in bondage--and yet do not want to pay to see a dry, boring documentary, this is the film for you: Half concert, half conscience-raiser.
All the film's profits will be donated to charity. Go here to see the trailer, and find it in a theater this fall!
