The Vineyard School of Justice, in collaboration with International Justice Mission, is hosting a screening of the IJM film “At the End of Slavery: The Battle for Justice in Our Time” to promote awareness of global justice issues.
The film “takes you inside the violent and ugly business of modern-day slavery — the buying and selling of human beings — from the brothels of the Philippines to the brick kilns of India. Shot on location in the Philippines, India, Cambodia and the U.S., At the End of Slavery takes you to the frontlines of today’s battle for justice and includes true stories of former slaves and undercover footage from police operations to rescue children from brothels. First-person testimony […] and respected experts expose the enormity of the crime — but a remarkable strategy and the courage of today’s abolitionists offer hope for a final end to this brutal trade.”
After the screening, Angie Redecopp (Director of Development at IJM Canada) will give a presentation on IJM and its work.
