CALL+RESPONSE
CALL+RESPONSE is a first of its kind feature documentary film that reveals the world’s 27 million dirtiest secrets: there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. CALL+RESPONSE goes deep undercover where slavery is thriving from the child brothels of Cambodia to the slave brick kilns of rural India to reveal that in 2007, Slave Traders made more money than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined.

Wake up, brothers and sisters! Slavery isn’t something solely happening in a far away distant land. It’s happening right here in America. In our own communities. Slaves are brought here for sex, domestic servanthood, the service industry, manual labor. See where it is happening in your community and become a part of ending it.
Driving to work today, I was more aware than ever before of the businesses I drove by; Especially as I was driving by this one area where “adult” stores and mysterious buildings extend for a couple of blocks on both sides of the freeway. No longer do I solely believe everyone working there can come and go at anytime they please. It’s not just happening in Cambodia or Thailand or Vietnam.
This is America where we pride ourselves on Freedom, but our consuming society doesn’t seem to care about anyone else’s freedom but its own. As long as my rights aren’t being forfeited... As long as I get the best deal, I don’t care where it came from, who made it, or how they were treated as they were making it. This is the message we send the world by our actions.

Do you know where your morning coffee came from? the clothes on your back? your shoes? your computer? your car? As Christians, we need to be aware. Are we identifying with the oppressors or the oppressed?
