Resource Guide - Part 1

I've been asked to list additional resources from individuals looking for more information around the issue of sex-trafficking. Over the next several blogs, I’ll be sharing with you different resources (both film, article, website and book resources) to help you on your journey of understanding the issue better. This will be “Part 1” of this resource catalogue -- I’ll start this blog with film resources. Many of them were provided to me by the Executive Director of Restore NYC (Faith Huckel), and come highly recommended. I've attached links to web pages that provide further info on the resource, or a preview of the film.

It captures the stories of victims, perpetrators and those working to stop trafficking.
