Hi, I'm Tony Robbins. I'm one of the executive producers of City of Dreams. I've been making films for a long time, and every now and then you come across a film that is actually truly important. I think this is one of the most important movies of our time that exposes in no uncertain terms the harsh, brutal, and devastating reality for numerous innocent victims of human trafficking right here in the United States. This incredible story moves me deeply. It's a shocking story about a young boy who's trafficked across the border. The dreams turn into a nightmare, and they end up in a sweatshop. We fought against his captors, freeing himself and others. Beautiful filmmaking, beautiful performances, very touching story. The authenticity of this storyteller shines through. It's a masterpiece about one of the most insidious problems that we have in the world and in our country. I was really taken by how intense it was, but yet it was so beautifully shot. Doesn't preach, doesn't tell. Rather, it opens a window into a world that I never knew existed. And I'm honored to be a part of this powerful story. Not just entertaining, but can change your entire outlook on life. This is one of them. It's a film about one of the 12 million children that are currently enslaved around the world. Brings us into the belly of the beast, and we see how children are exploited for labor, trafficking. This is happening everywhere, including here in America. I think people need to see this to understand why what is going on in the world. It is a very relevant, very important topic. I think everybody needs to be aware of it. It's an unbelievable, horrible thing that's happening. But we can make a difference. We really can. I don't care whether you're on the left or the right or black or white. We can unite around the fact that child slavery and child trafficking is wrong. I urge you to experience this film for yourself. It inspired me, and I think it will inspire you, too. This is a heroic thriller. It'll keep you on the edge of your seat. Please watch it and open up your heart. No, no, no. Any reason you rolled through that stop? I'm sorry. That your son? Yes. Any ID for the boy? Yeah. Watch the stops. To a 2018 red Mustang belonging to Rodrigo Ramirez. Rise and shine, homie. Rise and shine. First shift, 30. Second shift till 30. Last shift till 11, and boom, lights out at midnight. You crush it. I know. There's more of them in there. Well, fake passport isn't going to cut it. Yes, sir. These people have no criminal history whatsoever. Kind of busy shin the busy kind. We've got evidence that they're harboring illegals. Plus for warrant denied. Copy that. I'd quit poking around. Catch my drift? What is the truth? The truth is that as much as we want to be free and we die together, this is America. It's time to bring awareness to what's really happening around the world and even in this country around child slavery. City of Dreams will be opening nationwide on Labor Day weekend, August 30th. Please share this trailer and please watch this film. I know if you're anything like me when you do see this film, you're going to want to know how you can help end human trafficking. Take a look at the movie, watch it with your family, and hope you're able to do something at least in raising awareness about a problem that we're not talking about.
