The Friends of Maiti Nepal? would like to advise you that the film THE DAY MY GOD DIED will be broadcast on PBS stations nationwide, starting November 30th 2004 (please check local listing). The PBS program will be hosted by Susan Sarandon. The film itself is narrated by Tim Robbins.
The movie follows the work of Maiti Nepal and Sanlaap in Calcutta. All of the victims shown in the film were rescued and are being cared for by Maiti Nepal.
THE DAY MY GOD DIED is a feature-length documentary that presents the stories of young girls whose lives have been shattered by the child sex trade. This unforgettable examination of the growing plague of sex slavery weaves footage from Bombay brothels with stories of young girls who are taking action to stop the child sex industry. They describe the day they were abducted from their village and sold into sexual servitude as THE DAY MY GOD DIED.
The film takes viewers inside the world of sex trafficking and introduces the audience to young women who survived the brothels of Bombay and have dedicated their lives to ending this widespread epidemic.
This film, by Andrew Levine, airs nationally on "Independent Lens," ITVS's acclaimed Series on PBS.
