SUMMARY:Detroit Community Group
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Community Group will have its next meeting on \nSaturday\,  April 14th\, 2018  from 2-4:00 pm \nThe Detroit Public Library – Main Branch| 5201 Woodward Ave. | Detroit | 48202. \nThe Detroit Community Group will be viewing the documentary “Nefarious: Merchant of Souls” \n\n“Modern slavery.” It sounds like a paradox. Hasn’t humanity progressed? Didn’t we leave slavery dead on the battlefields of the American Civil War? Didn’t social reformers like Lincoln and Wilberforce legislate against such cruelty over a hundred years ago? So we had thought. But\, with over 27 million enslaved people in the world\, human trafficking is once again the battlefront of the century. \nRegardless of nationality\, victims are systematically stripped of their identity\, battered into gruesome submission\, and made to perform humiliating sexual acts on up to 40 strangers every night. Most are held in dingy apartments and brothels\, forced to take heavy doses of illegal drugs\, and monitored very closely. Victims are often thrown into such ghastly oppression at 13 years old. Some are abducted outright\, while others are lured out of poverty\, romantically seduced\, or sold by their families. \nNefarious: Merchant of Souls is a hard-hitting documentary that exposes the disturbing trends of modern day sex slavery. From the first scene\, Nefarious gives an in-depth look at the human trafficking industry\, showing where slaves are sold (often in developed\, affluent countries)\, where they work\, and where they are confined. With footage shot in over nineteen different countries\, Nefarious exposes the nightmare of sex slavery as experienced by hundreds of thousands daily\, through the eyes of both the enslaved and their traffickers. Nefarious features expert analysis from international humanitarian leaders\, and captures the gripping and triumphant testimonies of survivors in order to galvanize hope and vision. \nFrom 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. \nExodus Cry: In response to the sex trafficking crisis\, Nefarious: Merchant of Souls director\, writer\, and producer\, Benjamin Nolot\, founded Exodus Cry\, an international anti-trafficking organization. Exodus Cry is built on a foundation of prayer and is committed to abolishing sex slavery through Christ-centered prevention\, intervention\, and holistic restoration of trafficking victims. Learn more about Exodus Cry at exoduscry.com. \n\nTo receive more information about our Detroit Community Group\, please sign up to receive newsletters and reminders. Contact detroit@map-mi.org for more information. The Detroit group meets monthly.

SUMMARY:Detroit Community Group
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Community Group will have its next meeting on Saturday\,  March 24th\, 2018  from 2-4:30 pm \nThe Detroit Public Library – Main Branch| 5201 Woodward Ave. | Detroit | 48202. \nThe documentary showing is called “The Price of Sugar” \n\n\nOn the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic\, tourists flock to pristine beaches\, with little knowledge that a few miles away thousands of dispossessed Haitians are under armed guard on plantations harvesting sugarcane\, most of which ends up in US kitchens. Cutting cane by machete\, they work 14 hour days\, 7 days a week\, frequently without access to decent housing\, electricity\, clean water\, education\, healthcare or adequate nutrition. The Price of Sugar follows a charismatic Spanish priest\, Father Christopher Hartley\, as he organizes some of this hemisphere’s poorest people\, challenging the powerful interests profiting from their work. This film raises key questions about where the products we consume originate\, at what human cost they are produced and ultimately\, where our responsibility lies.\nTo receive more information about our Detroit Community Group\, please sign up to receive newsletters and reminders. Contact detroit@map-mi.org for more information. The Detroit group meets monthly.

SUMMARY:Detroit Community Group
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Community Group will have its next meeting on Saturday\, February 24th\, 2018  from 2-4:30 pm at \nThe Detroit Public Library – Main Branch| 5201 Woodward Ave. | Detroit | 48202. Thy will meet in the Explorers room located on A-level. \nThe Detroit Community Group will be viewing “Not My Life” \n A STORY ABOUT THE WAY THE WORLD IS…\n\n\nFilmed on five continents\, in a dozen countries\, Not My Life takes viewers into a world where millions of children are exploited\, every day\, through an astonishing array of practices including forced labor\, domestic servitude\, begging\, sex tourism\, sexual violence\, and child soldiering.\n“Human traffickers are earning billions of dollars on the backs and in the beds of our children\,” says the film’s director\, Academy Award nominee\, Robert Bilheimer\, “and yet no one knows this is happening. We have a huge responsibility\, right now\, to learn the truth and act on it.”\nChallenging 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 happy and productive lives. Those who advocate for slavery victims are growing in numbers\, and are increasingly effective. At this crossroads for the defining human rights issue of our time\, Not My Life tells us\, as the late Jonathan Mann said\, “We can no longer flee\, no longer hide\, no longer separate ourselves.”\n\n\nThe Detroit Community Group will meet monthly. \nTo receive more information about our Detroit Community Group\, please sign up to receive newsletters and reminders.

SUMMARY:Shelby Twp: ‘Break the Chain’ Movie Showing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Special Movie Night\nFebruary 19th\, 2018 @ 7pm\nShepherds Gate Church\n‘Break The Chain’\nwith Q & A following \nProduced and Directed by Michigan documentary filmmakers\, Laura E. Swanson and Kirk Mason\, ‘Break the Chain’ is an award-winning feature-length documentary film that addresses the often “hidden-in-plain-sight” issue of Human Trafficking within Michigan communities and the United States. The film chronicles two survivors of Human Trafficking – providing a detailed look at how trafficking goes unnoticed within our backyards.\nKwami\, a child survivor of Labor Trafficking\, was enslaved for nearly five years with three other children in Ypsilanti\, Michigan before anyone noticed. Debbie\, a survivor of Sex Trafficking\, takes us through her experience of being sold for sex around the Detroit-Area between the ages of 13 and 18.\nAccompanying the stories of these survivors are nearly 20 interviews with researchers\, Senators\, non-profit organizations\, legal service agencies\, law enforcement officers and several artists actively working to raise awareness for this global issue. The film teaches us that what we see in the media about human trafficking is one small sensationalized form – that it occurs anywhere and everywhere within our world. More importantly\, viewers will learn how we are all connected to this extremely profitable business and that we have the power to choose what we support\, and ultimately\, how we break the chain.
