Kailash Satyarthi is a child's rights activist who has helped save 80,000 children from slavery. Satyarthi says the film is the "best medium to bring their story out." He says the film should be the story of hope and possibility.
Director Derek Doneer heard about Satyarthi when he won the Nobel Peace Prize. He says when he learned about Satyarthi, he "was deeply moved and felt like we needed to bring that story to the world."
Producer Sarah Anthony was excited to make a film on such an important issue. Anthony says "I always wanted to make a move like 'An Inconvenient Truth' I was excited to get the call."
