Screening REDLIGHT in San Jose - Sat - June 18



Dear Community,

REDLIGHT will been screening in San Jose

on Saturday, June 18, 2011 at 2 - 4pm
at Asian Americans for Community Involvement (AACI)
2400 Moorpark Ave. San Jose, CA 95128.

REDLIGHT focuses on the personal stories of young Cambodian victims and two remarkable advocates for change: grass-roots activist Somaly Mam and politician Mu Sochua. Using footage smuggled out of brothels and harrowing testimonials, REDLIGHT follows the plight of several current and former child sex slaves. Some are trying to regain entry into Cambodian society to find some semblance of normality after their horrific experiences. Other stories highlight the plight of victims who are attempting to bring the perpetrators to justice. Their torturous yet ultimately heroic battles to find witnesses and take brothel owners to court are dramaticallybrought to life in this topical and moving feature documentary.

Cambodian parliamentarian Mu Sochua, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, is a tireless advocate who is contesting a recent court decision that threatens her right to speak out in defense of equal rights, transparency and a fair judicial process. Ms. Mu will speak about ­­her work in Cambodia before the screening.

Please have a look at attached poster in English and Khmer for detail.

Thanks,
Chanthoeun To
