NEW: Sylvester Stallone Applauds Vivek Ramaswamy's New Movie In Shocking Statement

Sylvester Stallone is among a number of celebrities who has come out in support of "City In Dreams," a new film that details the horrors of child trafficking. Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy served as an executive producer for the film, which was written and directed by Mo Ramchandani.

"City of Dreams," which opened Friday and is distributed by Roadside Attractions production company, centers on the true story of Jesús, a Mexican boy whose soccer dreams were crushed when he was trafficked across the border into Los Angeles. He was then forced to survive as a modern day slave in a sweatshop environment.

Business coach Tony Robbins, who served as an executive producer for the film, and director Mo Ramchandani told Fox News that the film is meant to serve as a "wake-up call" on the human trafficking crisis at the southern border.

"On the previous film, 'Sound of Freedom'... we had the same situation," Robbins said. "You know, on July 4th weekend last year, we beat out Disney with all their money because people were so moved by the film. And my wife and I have been involved in this for eight years. It's not a side-hustle for us that we do. We've freed a little more than 50,000 children."

"We funded the freedom of them, and we've actually gone out on those. I've gone undercover with scars on my face the ugliest things you could ever imagine in your life happening to our children, but also the beauty is when they're freed," Robbins said.

Ramchandani told Fox News host Jesse Watters that his father was forced to work in a sweatshop environment when he was just 7-years-old. After moving to America, read a case involving 72 immigrants who were trapped in a house in El Monte and was inspired to make the film.

Vivek Ramaswamy, who also served as an executive producer for the film, told viewers what they can expect in a separate interview with Fox News. "It is something that will take you out of your comfort zone as you learn just about how pervasive this issue really is, not just in other parts of the world, but right here at home in the United States," Ramaswamy said.

According to the U.S. Department of State, an estimated 27.6 million people worldwide were victims of trafficking as of 2023.
