Joseph D'Souza will present a short commentary on the film and be available for questions afterwards.
“India’s Hidden Slavery” The most graphic film on India’s Hidden Slavery. The images portrayed are almost beyond our comprehension. In today’s world it is hard to believe that over 800,000 young girls are trafficked each year under the guise of temple prostitutes. This film highlights the 20 million people held in debt bondage. Sadly most of these victims are from Dalit families who have been subjected to caste discrimination for 3,000 years.
