  • Partnership Will Help Stop Human Traffickers from Preying On
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: (952) 697-52XX @mediarelations.com Partnership will help stop human traffickers from preying on vulnerable children after natural disasters A portion of the proceeds from award-winning author Shamim Sarif’s new novel, “The Athena Protocol”, will help non-profit Headwaters Relief Organization educate and protect potential victims, families and community leaders Areas impacted by natural disaster and devastation are recognized as inevitable sites of increased human trafficking, with children being the most vulnerable. It happens in the U.S. as well as developing countries. Now, Headwaters Relief Organization, an international non-profit disaster relief organization, is teaming with award-winning novelist Shamim Sarif to raise funds to educate communities about these risks, and support those who have experienced trafficking. “We have encountered trafficking nationally and internationally in our disaster work,” comments Headwaters Relief Organization Founder Rebecca Thomley, PsyD, whose organization supports ​ ​ the needs of families and communities after tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, fires and man-made disasters. “The long-term consequences such as hunger, disease and homelessness can be devastating. Economic problems and government’s inability to protect in the wake of disaster creates conditions of increased individual vulnerability and criminal activity. Traffickers take advantage of these conditions.” Sarif’s novel, “The Athena Protocol”, will help fund efforts to stop the exploitation One of Headwaters’ award-winning initiatives is creating children’s books as tools for education, as well as for helping victims build coping skills and develop resiliency. That strategy drew the attention of Sarif, an accomplished screenwriter and film director as well as an author, whose stories often encompass social justice.

From premieres in the limelight to brilliant indie films hiding in the dark, there is much to explore in this year’s official selection.

Our INSPIRING WOMEN IN FILM programme will showcase many films from female directors, with titles such as Despite the Falling Snow, A Beautiful Now and West of Redemption headlining a series of special discussions with the filmmakers themselves. MUSIC SATURDAY features live performances by Vince Giordano, the US star of world premiere Vince Giordano – There’s a Future in the Past, which follows the man that brought the 1920’s vibe to Boardwalk Empire and numerous Woody Allen films. The prohibition era will swing into Manchester alongside the more contemporary world premiere of Lunar Orbit, a fly on the wall documentary which tells the story of electro music sensation The Orb. We kick things off with the opening gala feature Dennis Viollet- A United Man and then blow the final whistle with SUPER SPORTS SUNDAY featuring the strongest line up of sports films you’ll find anywhere in the world.
