CINÉ-JEUDI presents Avenue Zero


February 03, 2011


2009, 52min, Hélène Choquette

Toronto Premiere

Asian girls are enslaved in suburban massage parlors. Domestic workers toil like slaves in suburban homes. Girls in a Montreal subway station are lured into prostitution. Vancouver gangs recruit Honduran boys to sell drugs... Human trafficking is a reality today. And it's happening closer to home than you might think. Featuring candid interviews with victims, witnesses, and perpetrators, Avenue Zero weaves a spellbinding portrait of a dark and sinister trade flourishing in the shadows of the law.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with director Hélène Choquette (via Skype) et Francisco Rico Martinez, who is featured in the film and is the former Director of the Canadian Council for Refugees.

Presented in partnership with Alliance Française de Toronto, le Bureau du Québec à Toronto, Cinéfranco, le Consulat Général de France à Toronto, Théâtre Français de Toronto.

$6, $4 for students, seniors, Front Row passholders and partners.
