With donations from the general public, Childreach International will attempt to stop the trafficking of predominantly girls in Nepal.
Before 2015, 20,000 girls were being trafficked from the country of Nepal alone, and forced into the sex and domestic industry.
Tiffany Watts, executive director of Childreach International, said: 'Our goal in Nepal is to stop trafficking before it begins, by ensuring children are educated and in a safe space in school. Our work may be just a drop in the ocean, but through SOLD we hope that our drop becomes a ripple and then a wave of change as others join us in the fight against trafficking.'
The community of Norwich is one of 12 locations where the film we be shown exclusively ahead of general release in the UK.
