Sex Trafficking is a worldwide phenomena (important to inform your students.) We can often become detached when the phrase is tossed around-- but Sex Trafficking is a battle that young men, women, families, Police, and Non-Profits are fighting everyday. The hope is that through showing this film-- teenagers will be called to action whether it be to create bags for their local community law enforcement to hand to victims after raids or to get themselves help out of a dire situation.
