Not My Life

which is the first film to depict the cruel and dehumanizing practices of human trafficking and modern slavery on a global scale, including the U.S.  In the 80-minute documentary, narrated by Glenn Close and filmed on five continents, director Robert Bilheimer examines human trafficking in its different forms: forced labor, domestic servitude, begging, sex tourism & sex trade, and child soldiering.

According to Bilheimer, “Human traffickers are earning billions of dollars on the backs, and in the beds, of our children, and yet no one knows this is happening.”  We have a huge responsibility, right now, to learn the truth, and act on it.

Challenging though it may be, Not My Life‘s message is ultimately one of hope.  Victims of slavery can be set free and go on to live extraordinary lives.  Those who advocate for them are growing in numbers, and increasingly effective.  At this crossroad for the defining human rights issue of our time, Not My Life tells us that the choice between good and evil is, quite simply, ours.
