Sugar Babies
Wednesday, June 3, 6:30 pm
The Sugar Babies: The Plight of the Children of Agricultural Workers in the Sugar Industry of the Dominican Republic is a 95-minute documentary film that examines the moral price of sugar--present and past--from the perspective of the conditions surrounding the children of sugar cane cutters of Haitian ancestry in the Dominican Republic.

While exposing those who profit from human trafficking and exploitation, the film also explores, through field testimonies and hidden camera footage, the lives of those whose circumstances can only be considered modern day slavery. The children of the sugar industry workers face human trafficking, child labor and the denial of the right to citizenship.

Join us at Trinity to view this important film and increase our community's awareness about the plight of these young people.
