From Liberty to Captivity

Sex trafficking may be the greatest human and civil rights issue of our time. It encompasses racism, sexism, sexual violence, addiction to drugs and alcohol, physical violence, verbal abuse, pornography, and poverty – a beastly industry that thrives on the public’s lack of awareness. This award-winning feature-length film draws on direct comparisons to the tragic extent of modern-day sex trafficking and the history of slavery in the United States, while providing real stories and solutions to end it. The film asks the question: “How could America go from being a country that represents freedom to a country where sex trafficking and slavery are flourishing?” From Liberty to Captivity examines the impact of this profitable industry in a state that was instrumental in the fight to end slavery in the 1800s, Pennsylvania, following several individuals throughout their personal and professional experiences with sex trafficking, and it gives viewers a very real hope of conquering it.
