Call & Response Screening, with Matisyahu

FREE Call+Response Screening and Live Concert with Matisyahu

A Rockumentary About the World's 27 Million Dirtiest Secrets

Thursday, February 26 @ 7:00 pm

Miller Theater - Columbia University (doors open at 6:30pm)

Join us as we continue the conversation on morality, by looking at the modern human trafficking industry.  We'll explore the value and the nature of human beings through music, photography and film.

CALL+RESPONSE (www.callandresponse.com) is a first of its kind feature documentary film that reveals that there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. CALL+RESPONSE goes deep undercover where slavery is thriving from the child brothels of Cambodia to the slave brick kilns of rural India to reveal that in 2007, Slave Traders made more money than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined.  This is a particularly important conversation for Columbia since thousands of slaves are trafficked through New York. Justin Dillon, creator and director of the film, will be there to talk about the modern day slave trade. The photography project Sex and Moneya Global Search for Human Worth, will also be featured.

Award winning recording artist Matisyahu will kick-off and close the evening with a live concert.

Free tickets will be available at the Lerner Hall Box Office (non-CU ID tickets are limited)
