Avenue Zero Film Screening

Welcome to the REEL World

Avenue Zero (2010)
Directed by Hélène Choquette, this National Film Board documentary looks at the topic of human trafficking from a broad lense, highlighting trafficking in the areas of labor, sexual exploitation, and the drug trade. Join the Global Education Program in partnership with ACT Alberta for an evening of film and discussion. This event kicks off the first of a series of events looking at human trafficking, an issue that affects us on local, national and international scales.

Film description (Courtesy of the National Film Board of Canada):
Asian girls are enslaved in a suburban massage parlor... Domestic workers with working conditions reminiscent of slavery… Vancouver gangs recruit Honduran boys to sell drugs... Girls in a Montreal subway station are lured into prostitution... Human trafficking is still a reality today. And it’s happening closer to home than you might think. Featuring candid interviews with victims and witnesses, Avenue Zero weaves a spellbinding portrait of a dark and sinister trade flourishing in the shadows of the law.

Film Discussant:
Andrea Burkhart, Executive Director, Action Coalition on Human Trafficking – Alberta (ACT Alberta)

Hosted by the Global Education Program and the Action Coalition on human Trafficking – Alberta.
