NOT TODAY

Beaten down by the centuries-old caste system, the Dalits are trapped in India's thriving sex trade, with young children being bought and sold every day. Friends Media, a ministry of Friends Church in California, created this powerful new film to be a voice for the voiceless. With contented lives, food on the table and money at our disposal, we often turn a blind eye to the horrifying realities that many face, forcing them to go to extremes for survival.

In Not Today, Caden Welles (Cody Longo) is exposed to one such extreme - human trafficking. Caden has never known the overwhelming statistics of this crime, but his eyes are opened when his dream of traveling becomes a nightmare halfway around the world and he too is exposed to modern-day slavery. Travelling with friends to India, Caden's expectations of a never-ending party crash hard, as does his conscience when he refuses to help a starving man and his little girl. Haunted by the images of Kiran and Annika, Caden attempts to right his wrong, only to discover Kiran has been forced to sell his own daughter. Caden's eyes are opened to a world few Westerners know still exists: a thriving human-trafficking trade. Add the dehumanisation of Kiran and hundreds of millions of other Dalits due to India's caste system, and Caden could easily turn his back. Yet, spurred by a true purpose, an unlikely new friendship and the prayers of his mother (Shari Rigby) and girlfriend back home (Cassie Scerbo) , Caden chooses to help in Kiran's unlikely search to find his daughter.
