More than 3 million childrendisappear, sold into human

trafficking every year.

The International Labor Organizationestimates that more than 20 millionpeople are enslaved today, and 5.5

million of these slaves are children.

Whether they are forced into sexual slavery or added tothe forced labor workforce, once in this horrific system

these children are robbed of their basic human rightsand spend the rest of their lives just trying to survive.

This year, the movie SOLD was released in an effortto raise awareness, raise funds and highlight the

prevalence of this devastating human rights issue.

Based on true storieswith fictional

characters, thisfeature film is anadaptation of the

novel Sold by NationalBook Award finalist,Patricia McCormick.

intention of informing the world how vast this problemis, and to inspire people to do something about it...

And it has.

In Seattle, where the majority of the investors reside,SOLD has spawned Stolen Youth, a 501c3 dedicated tothe rescue and recovery of the city's sexually exploited

youth. To date it has raised 2.8 million dollars forprogramming and services for these children.
