Saket Soni Is The Only One Who Freed 500 Indian Workers From Human Trafficking Episode 161

What if a call in the middle of the night from a stranger changed your life forever?

Author, activist, and founder and director of Resilience Force, Saket Soni, was in New Orleans working as a community organizer, when he got a call from an Indian man who was being held in a labor camp.

So what would you do if you agreed to meet this man, but when you arrived it wasn’t one man, it was ONE HUNDRED men? Would you turn around, daunted by the idea of helping that many people? Or would stay and eventually lead 500 men to freedom?
