FILMS THAT SERVE + CALLS TO ACTION

HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Of the various causes I’ve been involved in, making change in the world of human trafficking is the most important. While we have slavery on earth and the manipulation of our children, our society will continue to decline.

I created a ground-breaking TV series, After The Escape, to dramatically and emotional connect to a vast public about what this issues is really all about, what’s happening at the grass roots level, and what they can do about it in their communities.

It was in making the following video that my fire was firmly lit for the cause and our kids. I was invited to make something to help the Hope Academy raise funds and spread its message.

Trafficking is much more nuanced than movies and the media have portrayed; thus, people are missing the kids bought and sold right in their own neighborhoods.

Overzealous activists have us looking for kids with black eyes and with chains. The reality is that kids and young adults, 1-30 years of age, fearfully keep up appearances during the day, to become sacrificial playthings during nights and weekends. Some become so traumatized they forget who they really are.

The number one crime against humanity does not know ethnic, religious, or socioeconomic boundaries.
