Very Young Girls

Very Young Girls is a documentary on the commercial sexual exploitation of children. The film follows teenage American girls as they are coerced, abused, and sold on New York’s streets by pimps while being treated as adult criminals by police. The film follows the barely-adolescent girls in real time. The film also uses startling footage shot by the brazen pimps themselves, giving a rare glimpse into how the cycle of street life begins for many women. The film documents the work of Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS), a recovery center founded and operated by Rachel Lloyd, a survivor of sexual exploitation. She and her staff help girls sent by the court or found on the street that are being sexually exploited. The documentary shows that, given a chance to piece their lives back together, many teeter on edge of two different worlds, consistently battling the force that coerces them back into the underground.

The Long Night

Set in Seattle, Washington, the feature documentary film The Long Night gives voice and meaning to the crisis of minors who are forced and coerced into the American sex trade. The film weaves together the stories of seven people whose lives are forever changed by domestic minor sex trafficking.

The Long Night is not themed to advocate a solution. Instead, it submerges the viewer in the experience of what it has been like for Natalie and Lisa to survive the life; for Tom and Nacole to watch their daughter slip out of their hands; for Andy and his fellow police officers, Brian and Joel, to try and create a more just system.

Filmed and directed by award-winning photojournalist Tim Matsui, The Long Night is an intimate and visceral testimony to those who have lived this crisis.

A Path Appears – Episode 1

In the first episode of A Path Appears, we meet the survivors behind these shocking numbers and illuminate the widespread existence of this violent crime taking place across America. Ashley Judd and Nicholas Kristof travel to Nashville where they visit the Magdalene House and meet Shana Goodwin, who guides them through the streets where her mother first sold her to a pimp at the age of 12. Shana and the other survivors of sex trafficking and prostitution paint a complex picture of the problems that exist and the solutions we need to see.

Approximately 15 percent of American men regularly purchase sex, but few are ever penalized. Kristof and Malin Akerman address this statistic in Chicago, where we go behind the scenes on a sting operation to crack down on the buyers of sex on the annual, nationwide Day of Johns Arrest.

In Plain Sight

You may have heard the term “sex trafficking” and thought that it was just an international issue. While the term trafficking may conjure images of desperate illegal immigrants being forced into prostitution by human smugglers, over 80 percent of victims in 2011 confirmed sex trafficking cases in this country were American citizens. Or, maybe, you heard about the recent case in Ohio where three girls were kidnapped and kept as sex slaves…and you thought it was just one guy with a serious problem.

Think again. It’s happening in plain sight, and you probably don’t even realize it.
