Justin Dillon

Artist, Musician, Filmmaker and Philantropist, Justin Dillon, is motivated by the concept of “praxis.” In social work, praxis is considered to be the reflective relationship between theories and action.  As Justin Dillion sees it, praxis is what happens when people extend themselves to do good and how their capaity to do good increases because of it. 

You can see evidence of Justin putting his own interpretation of “praxis” into place with his most recent passion project, the ambitious feature film/documentary entitled, CALL+RESPONSE:  The Concert to End Slavery. 

CALL+RESPONSE is a first of its kind feature documentary film that reveals the world’s 27 million dirtiest secrets: there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. CALL+RESPONSE goes deep undercover where slavery is thriving from the child brothels of Cambodia to the slave brick kilns of rural India to reveal that in 2007, Slave Traders made more money than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined.

Luminaries on the issue such as Cornel West, Madeleine Albright, Daryl Hannah, Julia Ormond, Ashley Judd, Nicholas Kristof, and many other prominent political and cultural figures offer first hand account of this 21st century trade. Performances from Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed artists including Moby, Natasha Bedingfield, Cold War Kids, Matisyahu, Imogen Heap, Talib Kweli, Five For Fighting, Switchfoot, members of Nickel Creek and Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers, Rocco Deluca move this chilling information into inspiration for stopping it.

Prior to embarking on his mission to raise awareness of the modern-day human slave trade, Justin was known as the driving force behind the band  Tremolo.  On his 2006 release of “Love Is The Greatest Revenge” Dillon melds soaring melodies, bluesy, gritty guitars with the lift-you-higher, anthemic bombast of U2.
