TRIANGLE, Va. – On Saturday, August 17, 2013, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Triangle, Va., will present a free screening of Not My Life, the internationally acclaimed documentary film that depicts the horrifying and dangerous practices of human trafficking and modern slavery on a global, national, and local scale. The film is by Robert Bilheimer, and narrated by Glenn Close, both Academy Award nominees. The showing will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the parish’s Dining Hall.
In addition to the screening, representatives from Polaris Project and ACTS SAVAS will be in attendance. Polaris Project is a leader in the global fight against human trafficking – and the organization that operates the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline 1-888-373-7888. ACTS SAVAS is the only sexual assault crisis center serving Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park.
“Following our awareness presentations last May, this screening is the next step in our commitment to bringing continued awareness, action and advocacy around the issue of human trafficking,” said Fr. Kevin Downey, O.F.M., pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish. “But this event is about more than just viewing a powerful documentary, because after it’s over, our guests from Polaris Project and ACTS SAVAS will provide us with ways that we can immediately take action.”
