Last night I viewed the documentary Call & Response, which brings attention to the disturbing issue of human trafficking, an institution that still exists in the world today in horrifying numbers. I've followed the issue for years, but Call & Response contains some shocking undercover footage, interviews, and music that seeks to both illustrate the suffering of those involved and inspire action on our part. The issue of human trafficking involves adults forced to work as labor slaves to children forced to be prostitutes. If you are like me, you have been burned in the past when seemingly nonpartisan issues have been turned into an orgy of anti-Republican and anti-capitalism sentiment. This is not the case with Call & Response. This is an issue everyone is united on, and yet it is not an issue addressed often. So few are doing something about this abomination, and I truly hope the reason for that is ignorance of what is happening and not because we've collectively put our heads in the sand. With Call & Response, you will no longer have the excuse of being uninformed.
