Tonight on NBC's Law and Order there will be a special issue featuring child slavery in New York. Free the slaves has partnered with NBC to raise awareness and bring this message into the center of current issues. "Two detectives on the show are investigating a double murder when they uncover and a child slave trade ring between Haiti and New York". It will air this evening at 10/9 central.

"This is one of those rare episodes that touched everyone who worked on it," says Executive Producer Rene Balcer about what he calls probably the most powerful episode of the season. Rene told Free the Slaves, "Even our crusty thick-skinned editors were moved to tears by the ending. It also opened a lot of eyes to the present-day, modern-world reality of slavery and indentured servitude. I would urge everyone who, as a result of this e-blast, watches the episode to call NBC thanking them for allowing the writers and producers of Law & Order to shine a spotlight on this issue."

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR AIRING THIS EPISODE. I AM INVOLVED IN A GROUP PROJECT FOR COLLEGE TO BRING AWARENESS TO OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT THIS UNDERGROUND CRIME. ALL THE LINKS YOU PROVIDED ARE EXCELLENT RESOURCES. THANKS FOR RAISING THE AWARENESS.
What I loved (and HATED) about this episode of Law and Order is that, though it was fictional, it has a realistic ending.
Kudos to NBC for raising awareness.
