We’re always happy when the issue of modern day slavery creeps into the main stream media. While we can’t always back the way the topic is portrayed, it is important to keep the dialogue going.

Case in point: the new season of NCIS: Los Angeles. The season premier episode is titled “Human Traffic.” We blogged about this before. The show will air tomorrow night. Not much can be gleaned from the preview video or synopsis of the show, other than that the team—which includes LL Cool J and Chris O’Donnell—will work on “a case involving human-trafficking, money laundering and drugs.”

We are interested to see how slavery is portrayed in the show. See the preview below:
