7 Short Film Synopsis

These important 7 short films shed light on the dark reality of sex trafficking in the US. Each film presents an authentic experience, aiming to raise awareness and equip audiences with knowledge to prevent future events. While not overly graphic, these films bring viewers closer to the truth of this issue, revealing that it is often an entrepreneurial endeavor. By knowing what to look for, we can help combat this problem. The films work together as a team, with a longer parent film diving into the stories of 4 victims, and shorter films focusing on unique trafficking situations. They can be used as PSAs on various platforms and serve as templates for other organizations to raise awareness. Each film ends on a positive note, emphasizing the importance of audience awareness in disrupting future trafficking.
