Mumbai and Customs hockey player-turned-social worker Anson Thomas, 54, has decided to showcase his arduous journey against human trafficking on celluloid through a film titled, Pledge To Protect. 

Thomas, a sturdy goalkeeper in his prime, has worked diligently against human trafficking across the country’s red light areas from where he has helped rescue over 800 girls across the last three decades. The movie that is currently being filmed across different parts of the city, including some brothels, will have Anson as the lead actor alongside other prominent Bollywood names like Govind Namdeo, Sunil Pal and Ganesh Yadav. The film will be directed by Suresh Zhade and should be ready for release in two to three months.
