Let’s Go to the Movies:  A List of Human Trafficking Movies Compiled by Survivors

Written By Kiran Gupta

In response to the Sound of Freedom movie, survivors of human trafficking have compiled a list of movies exploring broader aspects of trafficking that are often overlooked. This list is focused on the root causes of human trafficking and was vetted by survivors around the world. Root causes include lack of housing, poverty, immigration policy, incarceration, racism, transphobia and homophobia, misogyny, the stigma that trafficked boys and men face, familial child trafficking, MMIP, police violence, religious abuse, child marriage, reproductive rights, access to healthcare, and many other intersecting factors.

This list will be evolving as a living document. Please help support survivor-centered narratives and storytelling and share this on your networks.
