International Traffickers Association Promo

Have you ever wondered what would happen if human traffickers around the world came together to lobby for common interests as part of a trade association? If not, then you don't work for MTV EXIT. They are nothing if not creative.

This video reminds me so much of the Dharma Initiative training videos from Lost, that I can't help but wonder if MTV made the connection on purpose. It feels like something mysterious and groundbreaking -- the key to figuring out how modern-day slavery as an institution works. The information itself may not be groundbreaking, but with MTV the packaging so often is. And when the goal is to get people to pay attention to something like human trafficking which they would rather ignore, the packaging makes all the difference.

My kudos to MTv Exit for doing this...

It seems a good way to educate while they entertain thereby guarenteeing that people will remember this information.
