Call and Response

Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Building: McAlister Auditorium
Location: uptown campus
Did you know? There are more slaves in our world right now than at any point in human history. It is an incredibly lucrative and expansive black market: last year slave traders made $37 billion. That's more than the profits of Google, Starbucks and Nike... combined. As CACTUS' response, we are hosting Human Trafficking Awareness Week- Hopefully this will be an opportunity for our community to learn about the modern-day slave trade and actions that we can take to re-abolish slavery in our world! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=163254516125
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. Luminaries on the issue such as Cornel West, Madeleine Albright, Daryl Hannah, Julia Ormond, Ashley Judd, Nicholas Kristof, and many other prominent political and cultural figures offer first hand account of this 21st century trade. Performances from Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed artists including Moby, Natasha Bedingfield, Cold War Kids, Matisyahu, Imogen Heap, Talib Kweli, Five For Fighting, Switchfoot, members of Nickel Creek and Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers, Rocco Deluca move this chilling information into inspiration for stopping it. Music is part of the movement against human slavery. Dr. Cornel West connects the music of the American slave fields to the popular music we listen to today, and offers this connection as a rallying cry for the modern abolitionist movement currently brewing.
