See No Evil
Synopsis:
See No Evil follows a young woman on her journey to reintegrate into mainstream society after years of forced involvement in the sex trafficking industry.
See No Evil explores modern-day slavery in its current and virulent forms of sex and labor trafficking as a major global and systemic problem by exposing the living history of individuals ensnared by human trafficking. By weaving together stories of day laborers, prostitutes, and child laborers, audiences will see the broader picture of how trafficking has become a dominant and integral part of our modern day world.
Overview:
See No Evil aims to achieve the following:
- Bring awareness to the fact that the labor and sex trafficking industries have become integral parts of the modern industrial system
- Expose the lost voices of the millions of people who are currently enslaved in the trafficking industry
- Stimulate larger conversations about how modern ideas about the commodification of the body, private property, & modern economics actually work to perpetuate labor and sex trafficking
