'Intersection' successfully launchedAuthor: Dj Mojo Jojo
Column: Entertainment 'INTERSECTION,' an adrenaline-fuelled animation that provides a hard-hitting look at human trafficking and sexual exploitation in Asia.
The half-hour anime features the voices of Ely Buendia, Dingdong Dantes, Anne Curtis, Epi Quizon, and Dolly Anne Carvajal. 'Intersection' premiered yesterday on MTV Philippines but will re-air July 26 at 3 p.m.; July 29 at 5:30 p.m.; Aug. 1 at 9 p.m.; Aug. 3 at 10:30 p.m.; Aug. 13 at 8:30 p.m.
"We're using a different medium, animation, to alert young people about the risks of human trafficking," said Olivier Carduner, USAID's mission director for Asia. "It adds to the body of work - documentaries, music videos, film shorts, concert specials, and public service announcements - that MTV and USAID have released to reach potential victims and to promote law enforcement and victim outreach efforts. "MTV Philippines is very proud to be contributing its effort to such corporate social responsibility causes. We hope that this campaign provides important information for people to protect themselves as well as inspire our audience to join the fight against trafficking," commented Francis Lumen, CEO of MTV Philippines. 'Intersection' is MTV EXIT's first animated film. It is produced by JM Animation, the award-winning Korean studio that created the visually haunting 'Wonderful Days.' 'Intersection's' soundtrack features music by Radiohead of the UK and Thievery Corporation of the US. MTV EXIT will be releasing 'Intersection' in English and Asian languages featuring the voices of well-known actors from throughout the region. MTV EXIT programming is produced rights-free and is free of charge for all broadcasters & organizations. All the programming can also be streamed and downloaded from www.mtvexit.org.
