I received an email today recommending Call + Response — a “rockumentary” about modern slavery in the global sex industry.

Apparently, the movie has taken off. In the opening week, it averaged $4,000 per screen (a phenomenal amount with virtually no paid advertising).

It’s a low budget film. From a review at The Seattle Times: “What you get is an impassioned…combination of music, activism and shocking undercover footage of the sex, labor and combat trade, shot wherever easy profit results from luring innocents into lives of terrorized dependency…How much impact Call + Response will have is anyone’s guess. But when you see a 4-year-old sex slave, ignoring this crisis is no longer an option.”

Check and see if it’s playing in your area. If not, call your local theater and tell them to bring it on. What if more people watched movies like this and decided to call out for change?
