Five for Fighting, the band name for John Ondrasik’s music, is known for its capacity to override social norms and speak candidly on humanity, culture, love, and war. The band took shape in 2001, kick-starting its career with the Grammy-nominated song, “Superman” from the platinum album America Town. Ondrasik performed the song at the post-9/11 fundraiser “The Concert for New York;” “Superman” became a symbol of hope for the nation. In 2004, Five for Fighting released The Battle for Everything, with the hit song “100 Years.” The 2006 release of Two Lights with the hit song “World” sparked Ondrasik’s idea to facilitate change.

In mid-2007, he launched whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com, where participants can post clips of their projects and ideas on making a difference, and visitors to the site can donate. The website boasts three million hits and over $200,000 donated. Five for Fighting’s performance of “World” in the film reflects on the proverbial impact people of all walks of life can make on the issue of human trafficking.
