I've always been interested in the Social Justice League on campus but was too lazy to attend meetings, or perhaps just not motivated enough. I love their events so I decided to attend their "Born into Brothels" movie night. I've seen this documentary before, but it was really good, and I thought it was a good opportunity to make some observations. Just before the film began, Brian, one of the members, briefed us on a few stats and facts on sex-trafficking and slavery in the U.S. I couldn't stay to finish the film but was amazed at how many people showed up. I couldn't tell if it was something people were getting extra-credit for or if they were there out of genuine interest. At a movie-type of event, it was clearly really hard to make observations in the dark, and I wasn't able to stay for the entire film. I decided I would awkwardly show up as a random person to their meeting tomorrow after this class and hopefully get a better feel for their organization.
