“In our struggle for freedom, truth is the only weapon we possess.”
The Dalai Lama
3 Generations began with a vision - the end of atrocity. The ambitious dream inspired a nuanced approach to eradicating mass atrocity – publicly sharing the testimonies of those who have experienced crimes against humanity. The only way to implement real change is to learn from the mistakes of the past and to not repeat them in the future. By publishing the tales of survivors of genocide, trafficking, and war, we can simultaneously inform and inspire others to create a better tomorrow today.
This month our documentary, 10,000 Men, will be premiering. Modern day slavery is a horrendous reality for millions of people, however Western governments largely ignore the issue. The sexual exploitation of people in the United States is thriving and yet, there are few laws in place that effectively curb sex trafficking. This feature-film, inspired by the victims of the domestic commercial sex industry, will shed light into the unfamiliar world and expose the fallacies of present-day legislation.
Our manifesto is becoming increasingly recognized and implemented as an effective measure to inspire change. “Lost Hope,” a short-film depicting the contemporary sex trade present in the Native American community, is receiving an award mid-July.
We are also looking forward to the launch of our new 3 Generations website. It will provide a user-friendlier format,
making the stories of our survivor more easily accessible to the masses.
Thank you for your continued support in reaching our goal of a world without atrocity.To accomplish our mission, the participation of the masses is vital and you are at the centerfold of helping us achieve our task. Once more, we offer our sincerest gratitude and look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.
