Sex Trafficking

My friend, Sharon Plache, www.myspace.com/peaceflags, invited me to join her at the UN Film Festival at the American Film Institute in Hollywood. The subject of the documentaries I saw were about modern day slavery, other wise known as sex trafficking. It’s a worldwide issue and very much alive in the United States.

Cargo: Innocence Lost is filmmaker, Michael Cory Davis’ 2nd film covering the topic of sex trafficking. His first film, Svetlana’s Journey, was inspired by a young girl he met at an orphanage in Bulgaria when he was working on a project. Svetlana survived her experience of being sold into prostitution and her story changed Michael’s life.

What I find sad is that these girls that are forced into prostitution typically have sex with 15-30 men a day. So my question is, if these men knew that the girls they are paying for are engaged in sex with so many other men on a daily basis and that these girls are seriously abused when they are brought into this trade, would they still be clients?

Blessings!
