At the End of Slavery


Many of you have asked how you can fight trafficking and slavery around the globe from within your own community. IJM's powerful new documentary was designed to help you do just that — At the End of Slavery: The Battle for Justice in our Time* is a 31-minute film that takes viewers into the dark underworld of human trafficking and arms them with hope for a final end to slavery.
Help Us Grow the Movement — Just a Few Hours of Your Time
More than 27 million people are enslaved today, but if just 10% of Americans took action, we would have an advocate for every slave in the world. Bring new advocates to the fight by hosting your own "house party" screening of At the End of Slavery to introduce your community to the reality of modern-day slavery.

To date, hundreds of passionate IJM supporters like you are planning events that will reach more than 20,000 people in their homes, dorms, theatres and churches this fall. With your help, we can reach our goal of 50,000 people. Planning and hosting your event will take just a few hours, but the impact could last a lifetime.

Just 3 Simple Steps :
IJM has created a house party planning kit, which includes two copies of the film and takes you step-by-step through the process of planning a successful home screening.
1. Order your house party kit.
2. Plan and register your event.
3. Host your event!

A film alone will not end slavery. But by working together, we can.
