"Shattered Dreams: Sex Trafficking
in America?is a first of its kind, feature length documentary that
explores the deeply rooted psychological issues that victims of sex
trafficking face on a daily basis at the hands of pimps and buyers.
Through first- hand, heartbreaking testimony of abuse from three
survivors of the illicit sex trade, the incredibly complex nature of
this form of modern-day slavery is revealed. Investigative interviews
with leading experts from across the country provide further insight
on what drives the industry, exposing shocking revelations about the
society we live in and the misconceptions many of us harbor that allow
sex trafficking to thrive."(Official film synopsis)
