“Filmed in a dozen countries on five continents, ‘Not My Life’ takes viewers into a world where millions of children are exploited, every day, through an astonishing array of practices including forced labor, domestic servitude, begging, sex tourism, sexual violence, and child soldiering. Challenging though it may be, the film’s message is ultimately one of hope. Survivors of slavery can regain freedom and go on to live happy and productive lives.”

— Heidi Ostertag
