Movie producer-turned-director Mohit Ramchandani has unveiled plans for a $1 million ticket giveaway to promote his upcoming Roadside Attractions’ release City of Dreams.

With sneak previews starting Aug. 28, Ramchandani is giving away tickets to individuals and groups for free thanks to a donation from John Devaney, founder of United Capital and Manor House Films. City of Dreams, based on true events, follows young Mexican teenager Jesús (Ari Lopez), who is enslaved, beaten and forced to work in the squalor of a Los Angeles sweatshop after being brought to the U.S. as part of a premier soccer camp that turns out to be a scam.

City of Dreams is produced by Sean Wolfington, executive producer of Sound of Freedom, the child trafficking drama that became a box office hit last year. The movie’s executive producers include Mira Sorvino, Sylvester Stallone, Pat Riley, Martin Sheen, Kathie Lee Gifford,  Katheryn Winnic and Marisol Nichols.

“Mo has done a brilliant job through this powerful and unforgettable film by focusing on this issue and telling this story, inspired by true events. Few topics deserve a more urgent spotlight and my family, and I are privileged that we can help raise awareness by providing the opportunity to help protect and save innocent children from slavery,” said Devaney in a statement.
