Shari’s Story
Two American teens are targeted at their high school by a trafficking ring. They were kidnapped to be prostituted at motels, strip clubs, the internet, and truck-stops. One trucker’s call to the police not only rescued these two teens but led to the rescue of 7 other minors and broke open a 13 state child trafficking ring resulting in the conviction of 39 victimizers. The film is shot at the actual locations from Shari’s story and features trucker’s stories, undercover footage, and insights from the FBI and a Texas prosecutor.
This media is adapted to train the trucking industry to recognize and respond in trafficking scenarios up and down our nation’s highways and at truck stops. www.truckersagainsttrafficking.com
It is also being adapted for a 2012 mixed media child advocacy and prevention program educating US teens at schools and through at risk youth programs.
