Over 3 billion people living worldwide are fighting for their survival due to exploitation. 2,4 million are being forced into human trafficking every year. It is the culmination of a centurys long struggle with dehumanization. It is an epidemic fever infecting us all, an outcry of mankind’s soul. If we listen closely, it will tell us a tale. VOICES FROM THE FIRE tells of a revolution of power. A power once stolen, being slowly regained. It is the power of the poor, the desperate, the unprooted, the unseen and the voiceless. This is their voices, it is their tale.
