widen your circle of compassion

This 5 minute video clip captures the spirit of the HULL FREEDOM TRAIL, an anti-slavery initiative of 24 ordinary people from Hull (UK). In November 2007 they drove five 4x4 vehicle from the UK to Sierra Leone and donated the cars to humanitarian organisations who are looking after former child soldiers, sex slaves, orphans and street children. Raising awareness about modern forms of slavery is the second mission of the Hull Freedom Trail team. In April 2008 they will publish a book on www.lulu.com about their life changing experiences. They will also release a TV documentary series, which was filmed and directed by Claudio von Planta who was DOP of Long Way Round (2004) and Long Way Down (2007) with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman)
