A film about slavery in our time. A story about the way the world is.

Join Traffick Free Pomona, Flood {http://floodnow.com/} and Fair Trade Claremont for a FREE screening of the documentary film, “Not My Life,” narrated by Glenn Close. Not My Life probes the dark, hidden, and often unspeakable realities of human trafficking and modern-day slavery. How have we arrived at the levels of cruelty that modern slavery represents? How can these crimes go unpunished?

Filmed on five continents over a period of four years, Not My Life unflinchingly, but with enormous dignity and compassion, depicts the unspeakable practices of a multi-billion dollar global industry whose profits, as the film’s narration says, “are built on the backs and in the beds of our planet’s youth.”

Date: Tuesday, April 9th 2013
Time: 7:00 PM

Location: Laemmle Theatre, Claremont, CA
Contact: Tamiko Chacon, [email protected] or 909-629-5277 x3053
