Ricky Martin to the Rescue

This past weekend I saw Taken with Liam Neeson. One word: amazing. Not only have I always been a huge fan of his, but I’ve never seen him like this before, kicking arse! It’s what Matt Damon’s character Jason Bourne would be like years from now and if they kidnapped his own daughter and tried to sell her as a sex slave. All that to say Ricky Martin is fighting this fight in real life.

On July 10th at 8:00pm EST, V-me will premiere a powerful new documentary titled Vivir en Libertad: Lucha Contra la Trata de Personas, featuring Ricky Martin and María Hinojosa, that addresses the issue of human trafficking.

The 30-minute documentary, a co-production between the Inter-American Development Bank  and the Ricky Martin Foundation, is narrated by the award-winning journalist María Hinojosa, whom I’ve met before and really respect. In a special introduction, Ricky Martin addresses the complexities of this modern form of slavery. Vivir en Libertad: Lucha Contra la Trata de Personas covers the multi-layered issues of prevention, protection and prosecution of human trafficking.

Gotta love Ricky for continuously trying to make the world a better place.
