What is CALL + RESPONSE?
CALL+RESPONSE is a first of its kind feature documentary film that reveals the world's 27 million
dirtiest secrets: 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. Luminaries on the issue such as Cornel West, Madeleine Albright, Daryl Hannah, Julia Ormond, Ashley
Judd, Nicholas Kristof, and many other prominent political and cultural figures offer first hand account of this
21st century trade. Performances from Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed artists including Moby,
Natasha Bedingfield, Cold War Kids, Matisyahu, Imogen Heap, Talib Kweli, Five For Fighting, Switchfoot,
members of Nickel Creek and Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, Rocco Deluca move this chilling information into
inspiration for stopping it. Music is part of the movement against human slavery. Dr. Cornel West connects the music of the American
slave fields to the popular music we listen to today, and offers this connection as a rallying cry for the modern
abolitionist movement currently brewing.
