I need this one for a senior capstone course I teach where we did look at a few Dateline pieces and another piece on the slave trade in Cambodia. They are reading Oryx and Crake and there is a long passage about the character Oryx and her experience as a sex slave. "encourage those prone to paralysis to action" It's very hard to do. I am learning that the individualist market ideology is so ingrained in people's minds that it's like asking fish to jump out of the water. But...if I can at least build awareness so they see things differently and outside of that mould that's a start. Looks like a fantastic film.
