As nations around the globe attempt to fight sex trafficking, many consider legalizing prostitution. Two filmmakers travel across ten countries to explore the issue, attempting to answer the question: “How can we prevent sexual exploitation before it happens in the first place?” Though governments are getting better at prosecuting traffickers and providing aftercare to victims, it is time we begin to ask the question of what lies at the root. (USA, 2013, 77 min, NR, English| Dir. Michelle & Jared Brock)

The Cinema Arts Centre is joined by the Sociologists for Women in Society for this insightful documentary that investigates what lies at the root of sex trafficking, followed by a galvanizing expert panel. Panelists will also discuss the Suffolk County Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force and the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
