CALL + RESPONSE, A “Rockumentary” about the modern slave
trade is funded by donations only with ALL
profits going to fund global project on the
front lines this issue (to donate go to www.CallAndResponse.com).
Featured are interview with actors Julia Ormond, Ashley Judd, Daryl Hanna,
former US Secretary of State Madeline Albright,
Dr. Cornell West, and Nicholas Kristof.
The idea of Hollywood producing
a movie about
morality is, in itself,
unsettling. As I
watched “CALL + RESPONSE,” however, I realized I was being taught
more than I ever cared to know about the
sex trade industry. More than my “bubble”
of influence allowed in. That’s when I questioned
myself. What was this resistance?
Where did it come from? Dillon's CALL + RESPONSE
documentary engages an audience, like me,
who are unaware this problem exists.

This movie is a punch-in-the-face wake-up call to the depths
of horrors that is the Sex Slave trade industry
today. I was shocked to learn there are more
sex slaves today than ALL of the African
slaves brought to America for ALL years combined!
In the United States alone, an estimated
200,000 people are living in slavery.
This movie defines the
deference between
forced labor and slavery.
If you are forced
to live in a 4 by 6 foot
room your whole
life to have sex with an
average of 3-5 people
every day, chained to the
wall when you are
not “working,” beaten severely
and starved
if you refuse. This is
slavery of the worst
kind, and it is in America.
Young girls and boys are kidnapped at ages
as young as 3-years-old to live their life
in slavery. I found the math scary that a
pimp in the USA with 3 prostitutes can make
$240,000 a year, tax free. These prostitutes
may have only cost them $1,000, so they are
totally expendable. In once scene a young
girl who never went to school tells how she
has sleep with about 1,000 clients a year
for six years, but she couldn’t add it up
since she never went to school.
At times, during this self
described “rockumentary”
I felt I was watching a
documentary and a
concert broke out. The
contrast between the
musicians in the studio
and the prostitutes
in the brothels was a drastic,
although sometimes
a welcome breather. I would
have like to,
however, seen some popular
Christian musicians
and Pastors added.
CALL + RESPONSE is a call to action for those of us who
fundamentally understand that not only is
Sexual Slavery wrong, but prostitution of
any kind is wrong. If you accept voluntary
prostitution as OK, then we automatically
increase the demand for it. Once this happens,
foreign markets will response with cheaper
versions and offer alternatives (perverted
al be it) to their customers.
Don’t be fooled, there
is prostitution right
under out noses here in
America. Most strip-joints
have “private rooms” that
customers pay for.
The management then turns
a blind-eye toward
what goes on in that room.
The documentary
then moved from sexual
slavery to military
slavery (war children).
A few years ago,
ReachOUT.tv reviewed the
movie “Innocent
Voices” (www.ReachOUT.org/innocentvoices).
One solution offered d in the movie is “Globalization.”
We are one people and need to work together.
Those who are discerning Christians know
where this ends up. The only way to know
right and wrong is for it to be defined outside
of ourselves, and the only way that works,
as history has shown, is by using the Bible
as the standard. |
