Benjamin Skinner - "A Crime So Monstrous: Face-to-Face with Modern-Day Slavery"

Tuesday, September 16 - 7:30 pm @ MOCA Grand Avenue: LA

This book discussion at the MOCA looks really interesting.

"Worldwide, there are more slaves today than ever before, and as the first person in recorded history to witness negotiations for the sales of human beings on four continents, journalist Ben Skinner has gone inside the modern slave trade like no one else.

In his first book, A Crime So Monstrous, Skinner weaves a vivid narrative of slaves, traffickers, survivors and liberators. With years of reporting in such places as Haiti, Sudan, India, Eastern Europe, and The Netherlands, he has produced a vivid testament and moving reportage on one of the great evils of our time. His journey led right back to the United States, where some 50,000 are slaves—including countless numbers held in hidden bondage right here in Los Angeles."
