about the film
Not My Life
Not My Life is a feature-length documentary film about global human trafficking, a horrifying modern-day phenomenon that affects millions of children, women, and men in every part of the world. Specific aspects of this emerging issue—especially female sexual trafficking—are to some degree being addressed in books, news stories, television reports, and fiction and non-fiction films. To date, however, there is no single communication tool that effectively depicts the problem as a whole for a mass audience. The rationale for Not My Life is that until such a tool is created and widely used, the general public will remain uninformed and indifferent, and a problem that is already very bad will only get worse.Like Worldwide Documentaries’ 2003 release, A Closer Walk, the ultimate intent of Not My Life is to provide insight into ‘the way the world is’. Modern-day slavery thrives along transnational fault lines of extreme poverty, social injustice, political unrest, and acts of violence and deprivation that are morally indefensible and dangerous in the extreme. Insofar as it depicts a world in which millions of human beings have become disposable commodities, Not My Life is, first and foremost, a cautionary tale: human traffickers, and the corrupt or complacent systems in which they operate, undermine virtually every aspect of our collective well-being, including our security, health, economic stability, and sustainability as a global community.
Production for Not My Life began in the Fall of 2005. Filming has taken place in Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and the United States.
The world premiere of Not My Life will be in New York City in Fall, 2010.
