CCAT MOVIE NIGHT: Trade

Campus Coalition Against Trafficking (CCAT) will be screening its first movie of the year!

WHEN: next Wednesday, October 8th at 7pm
WHERE: Swain East 140
WHAT: We will be showing the movie Trade, starring Kevin Kline, which brings light to the issue of human trafficking--sex trafficking, specifically--in the United States. Come see Trade and witness the global impact of this horrific criminal industry that translates as modern day slavery. To learn more about the movie, visit: http://www.tradethemovie.com/

WHY: Human trafficking is estimated to make roughly $10 billion/year. It is the fastest growing criminal industry that may have anywhere from 600,000 to over 2 million victims a year. These statistics may mean little to you, so come see Trade and witness scenes that will put faces to numbers. It's a great introduction to human trafficking and CCAT Movie Night is a great avenue to meet people who are passionate about such an important issue. Snacks and refreshments will also be provided!
