(BPRW) Do You Think Slavery Does Not Exist Anymore? It Does!!!

(BLACK PR WIRE) The terror of modern day slavery is told in this based on a true story of a father’s desperate struggle to find his daughter, taken in a village raid and sold into the Sudanese slave trade.

Sudan is the site of the world's longest running civil war. More than 2 million have been killed and 2 million displaced. It is a nation that has seen the return of slavery.

“There is no greater tragedy in the world today than Sudan."
– U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff General Colin Powell

... you won't need the U.N. You will simply need men with shovels and bleached white linen andheadstones.
-Actor George Clooney, addressing the UN September 15, 2006

Sudan is the site of the world's most long-lasting religious persecution and genocide.
– Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel

Sudan 2000. The largest nation in Africa has been turned into an immense killing field, with over two million lives destroyed in a brutal and ongoing civil war. Human rights journalist Ron Wolfson travels to the heart of Africa to investigate reports of modern day slavery. When a raid by government backed guerrillas results in the capture of a young girl, her father, a simple village farmer, mounts an against-all-odds attempt to redeem his daughter. While Ron’s brother, a U.S. congressman, seeks to force international political pressure, Ron becomes an eyewitness to the horrors of slavery. His life will never be the same as he joins the father in his desperate search for the young girl – before it’s too late. Based on a true story.

Sudan is a modern story of slave-trading, an ancient evil whose prevalence has only increased, with more people in bondage right now than at the height of the North Atlantic African slave trade. Though Sudan is a novel and most of the characters are fictional, it is based on a true story. The atrocities described in this novel did not originate in the authors’ imaginations. Rather, they were taken from actual news accounts detailing the butchering and enslaving of southern Sudan’s Christian and animist people groups during the 1980’s and 1990’s - and now extended to the genocide of the inhabitants of Darfur.
