at you've been working so hard at, and we are just so proud of you. >> [APPLAUSE] >> We all came to the red carpet. >> I can't believe it. I think that was the part that got me most emotional, you guys. Is that we all stood together for freedom. >> Yeah. >> [APPLAUSE]. >> That was the thing I saw when I laid my head in bed. >> [APPLAUSE] >> At this moment, there are 46 million people engaged in some type of form of modern slavery. So this film covered stories from male and female survivors, and
a confessional from a former trafficker. So it's a hard story that was- >> I know, wow, that was really moving. >> Right? And I can't believe it was my first time actually working. You guys, I collaborated with monks from the Sediathan Church and retreat. Obviously, I've never been there, but like months to be able to put this story together. >> They're amazing people. Just being able to have a conversation with them you would never think, I love the fact that when you introduced me. You were, n
o, you don't understand she's mad cool you can talk about, so not judgemental. They're just like unconditional love walking around. >> And you had other support there too. >> Right, well that's what I learned too, is that you shouldn't be afraid to ask for help. Cuz I get anxiety, but you should believe that people want to be a part of a greater change. >> For sure. >> [APPLAUSE] >> So shout out to Laverne Cox, you showed up. Kelly Osborne, Russell Simmons, man, I mean, Paris Hilton even called
me up personally and like gave me the sweetest message. Shane Mitchell you've been in this fight with me for the longest time. But the best part is, knowing we had to wake up at 4AM, my family, these ladies here at The Real came and supported me. >> [APPLAUSE] >> I don't think you understand how proud we are of you. We,re so proud to have you, that you're a part of this show. We're proud to call you a friend. You are a world changer. >> Yes. >> And I hope that you recognize that. That what you'v
e done with this film- >> Yes. >> Is going to change the world. >> [APPLAUSE] >> And change lives. >> So thank you, thank you, thank you.
