The Response to "Call and Response"..."


Call and Response

THIS IS A GRASSROOTS FILM FOR A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT.
THIS IS YOUR FILM. THIS IS YOUR CAUSE.
JUST LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE STARTED!


WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A FILM WITH NO STUDIO SUPPORT
NO CORPORATE BACKING,
NO DISTRIBUTOR
NO ADVERTISING, NO THEATRICAL SUPPORT
AND ZERO BUDGET FOR PROMOTION


-Beats films like W and Max Payne on weekend screen averages?


-Is on track to be the #3 Political Documentary of the year?

-Outperforms last years Academy Winning Documentary?

-Sells out showings across the country?

-Ranks #1 or #2 in almost every theater where it shows?


THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS:

-Scores of young girls in Cambodia who were brought out of the sex slave trade will now
have valuable new skills that will lead to sustainable employment.


-Thousands of dollars are raised for global projects fighting human trafficking

-The calls coming into the Human Trafficking 800 number increase 400%

-Thousands of people use the TAKE ACTION platform on www.callandresponse.com
calling upon major companies to join the SLAVEFREE movement by investigating
their product chains. Two major apparel companies (Gap & Burberry)
answer the calls and agree to further inquiry.


-Thousands of people sign up for the TEXT MESSAGING campaign

And all of this happened in ONE WEEK

We continue to play this week in:

SAN DIEGO
MINNEAPOLIS
DALLAS
EAST BAY AREA, CA
CHICAGO
AUSTIN
SEATTLE



More screens being added daily.
STAY TUNED.
TELL FRIENDS.
THIS IS ON!


Another way to stay connected is to join our CRITICAL MASS text campaign. You get access to free songs from the film, updates, and up-to-the-minute info on the movement. We will be using the collective power of our CRITICAL MASS to make massive instant changes in this issue. Join the CALLS that will get a RESPONSE. TEXT “CALL” TO 90999. I promise you will never be solicited for anything other than justice.

Listen, this is a real story. There’s never been one like it and you are a huge part of it. I hope you can stay connected to the story by visiting the website, www.callandresponse.com, often to see all the new RESPONSES to this issue. We are seeing real change come out of this platform, and it all comes from you. Use it. And watch what happens.

Please continue to spread the word about this little open source film that’s being used to bring justice. We have just begun.

With respect,

Justin Dillon
