The New Abolitionists

Christina Zorich has delved into the atrocity of human sex trafficking by exploring the causes and examining the situations that put the victims at risk for exploitation. I came away understanding more about this global problem. The interviews with the anti-traffickers and those that have been rescued are deeply moving and insightful. I am inspired to see them working to help these women and children rebuild their lives, their sense of self worth and their sense of purpose. The ministries that provide them with food, shelter and safety have my greatest respect. They are dedicated to the rescue of those that have been lured, kidnapped and trapped, and the fight continues. It is beautifully shot, to show us the underbelly of the beast, yet with care to preserve human dignity. Zorich has made a brilliant film and I applaud and support her commitment to this cause.

"The New Abolitionists" is devastatingly powerful. Eye opening. Intense. So many things I didn't know about sex trafficking that Christina Zorich and all those involved help bring to light. This is definitely no longer just an isolated issue. This is a human rights issue. What an impactful documentary. Check it out, rate it, share it. Help spread awareness. Very well-researched. They talk about the historical context and events that contributed to this growing issue. They also meet with organizations that are on the front lines in working to help rehabilitate the victims and introduce them to a new life. Amazing and heartbreaking.

WOW !.....Gut Wrenching.... Heart Warming......Total inspiration to the Anti-Traffikers and Ministries who reach out to those woman and children to offer Love, Hope and a sense of a new life.... After watching this documentary you will tell yourself that you never realized the shocking exploitation of humans to humans......The Anti-Traffikers endless crusade to expose the human atrocities to these innocent woman and children is relentless.... Boston Strong to all the woman and children who are rebuilding their lives.... Christina Zorich has produced an incredible film that we all need to see and I salute you and thank you !!!

Everyone, every adult needs to see this film. If you think you have some idea of what trafficking and slavery is, you will likely find that you have underestimated the reality of how it occurs and the effect it has on the most innocent human beings. This film educates, informs and reveals the truth. It is painfully beautiful, shocking and real. The filmmaker manages to bring positive light to the darkest content by allowing us to see the hope that victims find despite the trauma they endure. Important, life changing, beautiful and inspiring are words I'd use to describe Zorich's illuminating documentary.

I happened upon this documentary via the On Demand channel. I'm relieved that there are people in this world who felt that this issue was important enough to make into a documentary.

It's staggering how few people know about sex trafficking, how prevalent it is and that it often times involves children. Especially in today's world, where information is so easily exchanged through the advancement of technology. Yet ironically it's technology that helps facilitate this crime.

My hope is that this film will be a watershed moment. That it will spark a movement by introducing people to this dark reality that's hidden right under our noses.

It is a must-watch!
