  • Starts: 6:00 pm on Thursday, April 20, 2017
  • Ends: 9:00 pm on Thursday, April 20, 2017
REACT to FILM Boston University is dedicated to bringing powerful and relevant documentaries about political and social issues to campus in order to inspire our community to discuss and take action. As part of Human Trafficking Education Week, we will be screening "Not My Life," the first film to 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 including forced labor, domestic servitude, begging, sex tourism, sexual violence, and child soldiering. As the film's director, Academy Award nominee, Robert Bilheimer says, "We have a huge responsibility, right now, to learn the truth and act on it." We thank the Pardee School Initiative on Forced Migration and Human Trafficking - FMHT for making this week possible.
