Former Mumbai Customs hockey custodian Anson Thomas continues to effect saves in real life, long after he hung up his goalkeeping pads. Having given up his position as Preventive Officer in Mumbai Customs in 2010 to take up a full-fledged campaign against human trafficking, Thomas recently released his biopic, Pledge To Protect, highlighting his tense journey in and out of some of India`s infamous brothels across the last decade.
"This movie is not for commercial gain. It`s not about the money, but about the message that human trafficking is a curse to humanity," Thomas, 55, tells mid-day.com.
