The Abolitionists is a 2016 documentary film by Darrin Fletcher and Chet Thomas about a sting mission orchestrated in Colombia by the independent Operation Underground Railroad jump team, led by former U.S. Homeland Security Special Agent Timothy Ballard, countering child sex trafficking.[1][2]
The film was developed first and foremost as a reality television series but as the first episode was being editing it began to take on its own life as a feature film, with seven episodes of the television series also being completed.
The site's critic, NYC Movie Guru reads: "Spellbinding, gripping and eye-opening. Bravo to directors Darrin Fletcher and Chet Thomas for bringing Tim Ballard and the human rights issue of child sex trafficking to light"[3] The Abolitionists had a one-night premiere on May 16, 2016, at over 450 theaters.[4]
