Oscar-winning Director Jeffrey Brown, Impact Producer Jane Charles, and two-time Oscar winning Executive Producer Emma Thompson announced a crowd-funding campaign for the theatrical release of SOLD, an award-winning film tackling the worldwide human rights issue of sex trafficking. The Indiegogo campaign officially launched on October 19th: http://igg.me/at/soldindiegogo
This initiative is in order of seeking support to fund the film's Theatrical Release and Outreach to raise awareness about the global issue of Sex-Trafficking and raise funds for the protection of vulnerable children.
Based on the international bestselling novel by Patricia McCormick, SOLD depicts the life of an extraordinary thirteen-year-old girl who is trafficked across the Nepal-India border and forced to work in a brothel in Kolkata, India. By telling one girl's story, SOLD gives voice to the millions of trafficked children who are unheard and unseen.

'SOLD' has set a funding goal of $50,000 using the online platform Indiegogo. These funds will support a team to conduct and manage the film's outreach campaign, TaughtNotTrafficked, an education campaign to prevent child trafficking in high-risk areas. SOLD will also launch a theatrical release in major cities.
The campaign highlights perks rewarded to funders, including a lottery for a free trip to India and packages with the acclaimed stars of SOLD: three nights in London at a 5-star hotel and breakfast with Gillian Anderson, and karaoke with David Arquette at his new club Blind Dragon in West Hollywood. Funders can also receive bracelets handmade by trafficking survivors.
