A documentary-style film about the fight to abolish child slavery will be shown at Carmike 14 next month, but only if enough people purchase tickets.

“The Abolitionists” is slated for a showing at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6, but about 45 more tickets must be purchased online by Aug. 30 for the showing to make.

The film shares the story of Operation Underground Railroad, a nonprofit that aims to abolish child sex slavery and works with domestic and foreign governments to do so.

Gerald R. Molen, producer of Schindler’s List, Jurassic Park and many other films, is one of the executive producers on the film.

Tickets cost $12 each with 15 percent of ticket proceeds going directly to saving children, according to the movie’s website.

Tickets cannot be purchased at the theater. They must be purchased online at www.tugg.com/events/121618. A hold will be placed on the card for the ticket price, but will not be charged until the show makes, a local organizer said.
