The film will last 60 minutes with a 30 minute human trafficking panel discussion immediately following.\n\nFilmed on five continents\, in a dozen countries\, Not My Life takes viewers into a world where millions of children are exploited\, every day\, through an astonishing array of p ractices including forced labor\, domestic servitude\, begging\, sex touri sm\, sexual violence\, and child soldiering.\n\n"Human traffickers are ear ning billions of dollars on the backs and in the beds of our children\," s ays the film's director\, Academy Award nominee\, Robert Bilheimer\, "and yet no one knows this is happening. We have a huge responsibility\, right now\, to learn the truth and act on it."\n\nChallenging though it may be\, Not My Life's message is ultimately one of hope. Victims of slavery can b e set free and go on to live happy and productive lives. Those who advocat e for slavery victims are growing in numbers\, and are increasingly effect ive. At this crossroads for the defining human rights issue of our time\, Not My Life tells us\, as the late Jonathan Mann said\, "We can no longer flee\, no longer hide\, no longer separate ourselves."\n\n \;\n\n  \;\n\n \;\n\n\n\nHuman Trafficking Discussion Panelists:\nAnna Taylor\ , Alaska Institute for Justice Supervising Attorney\n\n \;\n\n \;\ n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nJolene Goeden\, Special Age nt\, FBI\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nJosh Louwerse Dire ctor of Program\, Youth Engagement Center Covenant House Alaska\n\n \; \n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n\n\n Program Details\n\n Check-in will begin at 5:30pm with seating available on a first-come first-serve basis.
