Please join us on June 29, 2016, for a special screening of “Sold”, an award winning film about human trafficking, a world-wide and local issue. The movie will be shown at the Regal Santiam Theatre at 5:30pm.
Based on the international bestselling novel by Patricia McCormick, and inspired by true accounts, SOLD tells the story of 13 year-old Lakshmi, who is trafficked from her peaceful, rural village in Nepal to work in a brothel called Happiness House in Kolkata, India. Through one extraordinary girl’s story, SOLD gives voice to the millions of children around the world who disappear every year. Globally the average age of a trafficked girl is thirteen, the same age as Lakshmi in the film.
SOLD is a call to action, and a testament to the power and resilience of the human spirit.
Immediately following the movie, there will be a Q&A with the Executive Director from the Center for Hope and Safety, Jayne Downing.
This movie is being brought to Salem by the Peace Committee of the Salem Rotary Club.  You must order your tickets by June 21. You can purchase your tickets online at this website: https://www.tugg.com/events/103971. You can also make an additional donation to the Center for Hope and Safety and/or the Salem Rotary Foundation.
