Trade of Innocents: Symposium

Trade of Innocents was released as a Hollywood feature film to show the world that slavery still exists in this world. The film also initiated and fueled a movement. After the release of the film, we partnered with the film’s producers to host a symposium at California State University Bakersfield to discuss all of the aspects of this modern day evil and how individuals are engaging in combating it with partnerships between law enforcement, rehabilitation, and political action.
