Wednesday, May 22, 6:30 Women Occupy San Diego Movie Night  "NOT MY LIFE" View Trailer
Narrated by Glen Close, this is the first film to comprehensively depict the cruel and dehumanizing practices of human trafficking and modern slavery on a global scale. Filmed on five continents, in a dozen countries, Not My Life takes viewers into a world where millions of children are exploited, every day, through an astonishing array of practices.
"Not My Life's message is ultimately one of hope. Victims of slavery can be set free and go on to live extraordinary lives. T he choice between good and evil is, quite simply, ours.
Join us for the film, discussion and refreshments.
