The broadcast premiere of The Rescue List is March 23rd, 2020 at 10pm on your local PBS station!
The Rescue List is an intimate documentary following two children who are rescued from modern slavery by Challenging Heights on Lake Volta in Ghana. Through patiently observed scenes, the film draws into focus the complex circumstances under which children are trafficked and the challenges of recovery and reunification. Tracking their lives over the course of a year as the children prepare to return home, this tender, tensely wrought film places the children at the center of the narrative – revealing a moving story of survival and hope.
You can also host a community screening in advance of our March 23rd national broadcast premiere on PBS’s award-winning documentary series POV! Each screening host will receive a discussion guide to facilitate dialogue and learning, plus action steps you can do right away to support those who are fighting to end modern slavery. Our team is arranging community screenings with non-profit organizations, schools, corporations, churches, and other groups interested in our film and its themes of human rights and modern slavery.
