Description

The documentary The Day My God Died, a film by Andrew Levine, goes behind the scenes with actual footage from the brothels of Bombay; know to even tourists as “the Cages”. Using “spy camera” footage we can enter the brothels and witness the conditions, activities, and faces that are child sex slavery. We follow the stories of Gina, sold at the age of 7, who is now suffering from AIDS, and Anita, sold at 12, who was threatened to be buried alive if she did not obey.

Crooked Trails, would like to invite the community to look at the Faces of Hope. A fundraiser to help combat child sex slavery, the night will involve a movie screening of "The Day My God Died" and a photo exhibition by Jeff Speigner. Coffee, light dessert, and wine ($5 a glass) will be available. Bracelets made by victims of the sex trade will be available for purchase.
