San Diego, California, September 1, 2022 —STAT!

The filmmaker Sadhvi Siddhali Shree will introduce the film and take part in a post-screening discussion.

Surviving Sex Trafficking examines the ongoing struggles of survivors as they desperately fight to break free of their past, heal their bodies and minds, reconnect with a world of hope, and reclaim their lost humanity. Jain monk Shree, behind the award-winning documentary Stopping Traffic: The Movement to End Sex Traffic, uncovers the depth of pain felt by survivors as well as if and how they can truly recover. Through conversations with victims and trips to women’s shelters around the world, Surviving Sex Trafficking reveals how they escaped, how they continue to survive, and how they live day to day with the repressed trauma from the horrific events they experienced. Shree directed and produced the film, with Sadhvi Anubhuti co-producing.

The evening will start in the Dove Library courtyard where attendees can mingle and chat with local anti-trafficking service providers like Project LIFE – North County Lifeline, One Safe Place, Alabaster Jar, and Free to Thrive. Light food will be available for purchase. Water will be free.
