RELENTLESS -Award winning feature film on human trafficking available everywhere February 6th on blue ray, DVD, digital, and on demand. The film which is inspired by true events about human trafficking in Latin America supports our mission to Abolish Slavery Worldwide 
“1981. Civil War rages in El Salvador between American-supported government forces and guerillas. Refugees flee to Los Angeles and form the gang, “Los Discípulos”. Many are deported back to El Salvador and eventually form one of America’s largest human trafficking rings.” This is the backdrop for “Relentless”, inspired by true events.
Relentless is written/directed by Writer, and Director Lance Tracy
Starring: Holly Drew (Lauren Shaw), David Castro, with Elpidia Carrillo
“This film educates the audience on the American-supported Salvadorian Civil War, the government death squads, and Salvadorian war refugees who formed a notorious international gang that is now responsible for trafficking the majority of Central Americans to the U.S.A., making up one of America’s largest trafficking rings.”-Relentless
State legislators, and film-makers joined together for a historic screening of Relentless, a dramatic film inspired by true events about Human Trafficking -Relentless
The award winning film RELENTLESS was screened Monday January 29th, 2018 for the Senate and the House for speedy passage of Bill 554. Currently in the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senate Bill 554 would create a safe harbor for victims of human trafficking, giving them the resources they need to recover rather than criminally charging them.
