Every 26 seconds, a child is trafficked globally, even right here in our own backyard in the USA! The 26 Seconds Documentary gives a voice to the voiceless.
Film is my commitment to creating work that matters in our world. I wanted to film a documentary on global sex trafficking because it is a fast-growing and horrific industry that tragically affects every child and woman both nationally and worldwide. We can either do something or nothing. I simply chose to do something with the resources and creative talent I possess and have access to as a professor in film.
As a filmmaker, my intention was to tell the story. It was not possible to tell the story of human trafficking unless I met the victims trapped in the sex trade face-to-face, but the true heroes are the 40+ nonprofit organizations I collaborated with that rescue, restore, and reintegrate these innocent women and children. Creating awareness is not enough but rather a call to action is ALL of our responsibility. It will not only take an army of heroes but also a village of ordinary people like you and me.
We are blessed to live in a country that allows us to have freedom of speech - I think that is the fabric of America that allows me freedom of speech and to freely shine a light on a dark and horrific topic of child sex trafficking happening worldwide and right here in our own backyard in the USA. My intention is to educate, create awareness, and call to action through the 26 Seconds USA Docuseries to help save thousands of women and children who are still trapped in the sex trade.
