Freedom Friday: Nefarious

For all you readers who live here in the EC, Nefarious is coming to town! 

There will be a screening on Friday, May 4, 7-9pm, in HHH 100. 

What is Nefarious?

Nefarious, Merchant of Souls, is a hard-hitting documentary that exposes the disturbing trends in modern sex slavery. From the very first scene, Nefarious ushers you into the nightmare of sex slavery that hundreds of thousands experience daily. You’ll see where slaves are sold (often in developed, affluent countries), where they work, and where they are confined. You’ll hear first-hand interviews with real victims and traffickers, along with expert analysis from international humanitarian leaders. 

From initial recruitment to victim liberation—and everything in between—the previously veiled underworld of sex slavery is uncovered in the groundbreaking, tell-all Nefarious, Merchant of Souls.

Watch the trailer:

This is going to be a hard, but good film to watch. Hope to see some of you there!
