Dreams Die Hard [APRIL 2009]

One of them wanted to earn money so she could treat her parents like a king and queen, two of them were enticed by the promise of a good education, another one wanted to buy medicine for his sick son; none of them ever dreamed they would become slaves in the United States.

Film Background

In addition to this short-length film, we will get to hear about two local organizations: the Women's Rape Crisis Center in Burlington, and a new local chapter of an organization committed to ending child slavery. Time permitting, we may also listen to readings of several testimonies from modern-day freed slaves. Should be a thought-provoking night.
