FATAL PROMISES

In English, Ukrainian, Russian, German

Fatal Promises is an in-depth and honest look into the scourge of human trafficking. Through personal stories of victims of trafficking, and interviews with politicians, non-governmental organizations and activists, Fatal Promises cleverly juxtaposes the brutal realities of human trafficking suffered by victims and battled by activists, with the hollow rhetoric of politicians and pundits who claim to be making significant strides in combating this horrific crime against humanity.

The screening will be followed by a conversation between director Kat Rohrer, Erhard Busek (former Vice-Chancellor of Austria, currently Coordinator of the South-Eastern Cooperative Initiative (SECI) and Chairman of the Institute for Danube Region and Central Europe), and Helga Konrad (former Austrian Secretary for Women's Issues as well the OSCE Special Representative on Combating Trafficking in Human Beings).

Fatal Promises will premiere at New York's School of Visual Arts Theatre on September 15th. The Premiere will be attended by activist Emma Thompson for a post screening Q and A alongside director Kat Rohrer. The film will screen from September 16 through 24 at Cinema Village.
