Not Today Page #7

Synopsis: Caden Welles has the world at his disposal. With the resources of his wealthy father, he's living life as large as any 20-year-old could dream. But what happens when that dream becomes a nightmare halfway around the world? Traveling with his friends to Hyderabad, India on a whim, Caden's expectations of a never-ending party crash hard. But not as hard as his conscience when he refuses to help a starving man and his little girl. Haunted by the images of Kiran and Annika, Caden attempts to right his wrong-only to discover Kiran has been forced to sell his own daughter. Caden's eyes are now opened to a world few Americans know still exists: a thriving human-trafficking trade. Add the dehumanization of Kiran and hundreds of millions of other Dalits due to India's caste system, and Caden could easily turn his back. Yet spurred by a true purpose, an unlikely new friendship, and the prayers of his mother and girlfriend back home, Caden chooses to help in Kiran's unlikely search to find his da

And my watch. Trading it

for that little girl...

...even if she did end up

running back. It was worth it.

It seems easy to see that

the hand of God was guiding...

...because now I'm aware.

I have no more excuses...

...and the very least I can do

is get involved.

Human trafficking is a Problem worldwide

that affects each and every one of us.

It has been our goal as storytellers

to try and start a global conversation.

To get People talking about trafficking,

sex slavery, and the Dalits of India.

It's everyone's issue,

and should be everyone's cause.

I'm Brent Martz,

Producer of Not Today.

- I'm Cody Longo.

- I'm Cassie Scerbo.

My name is Walid Amini.

I'm Shari Rigby.

I want to Personally

thank you for supporting this film.

Human trafficking

is a huge issue worldwide.

A Problem that affects

every one of us.

We made Not Today in India because

we've been working here for 10 years.

We chose to make it here because

it's an amazing and beautiful country.

Because of these kids,

these faces you're seeing.

I had no idea that right now, today,

there are more than...

There are more

than 27 million...

27 million...

People enslaved

around the world.

I didn't know that children

as young as 4 and 5 years old...

...are bought and sold

for sex daily.

And I also didn't know about

the Dalits of India. The untouchables.

A group of nearly 300 million People

who are abused and degraded.

Because of where they are born.

Their last names, the color of their skin.

You might recognize this girl here

from the movie you just watched.

Her real name is Persis Karen,

but she played Annika in the movie.

She's only here because someone

like you decided to get involved.

Now I'm aware, and now, for me,

doing nothing is not an option.

I hope you feel

the same way.

If you do, together we can make

a difference.

Get out your Phones and text the word

"today" to the number on your screen.

We'll send you a link to a website that'll

offer ways to get involved.

Helping to build a school,

sponsoring children.

Or volunteer your time

to a worthwhile organization...

...who desperately

needs your support.

To us, how you get involved

is not important.

What is important

is that you do get involved.

By texting the word "today"

to the number on your screen...

...you'll be able to make a difference in

the lives of kids like these.

Text the word "today" to the number on

the screen and watch what happens.

Watch what happens next.

You'll be glad you did.

So join us.

Together we can provide freedom

to children around the world...

...and to see the end

of human trafficking.
