MOVIES THAT MATTER with Hal Conklin
In collaboration with the EXPLOITATION PREVENTION PROGRAM - UFFIZI ORDER, SPONSOR
The evil of manipulating and coercing children and teenagers into prostitution is appalling. Known as human trafficking, we often assume this occurs primarily in developing countries and only rarely in nations like the United States. But we are wrong to make such an assumption. In Plain Sight is a documentary directed by Noah Lamberth and David Trotter depicting what is actually happening in such cities as Nashville, Dallas and Houston. Woven throughout these first-person accounts, Lamberth and Trotter bring in the people who are trying to free these girls from this hell. From police officers to FBI agents, from pastors to counselors, from former trafficked women who are now helping others get free, to wealthy women who used their resources to create safe houses where healing and new lives could begin, we look at this complex problem from all sides. For a moment, we even hear from the darkened inside of a car the empty words of a man whose addiction to sex is financing the pimps’ enslavement of these victimized women.

EXPLOITATION PREVENTION PROGRAM - UFFIZI ORDER, SPONSOR – The Uffizi Order exists to collaborate with and for the marginalized in Santa Barbara County. Through our exploitation prevention initiative, we partner with agencies, organizations, and communities seeking to provide holistic care for survivors of sex trafficking. We provide training regarding child sex trafficking in Santa Barbara County, outreach to educate our community about the issue, and we collaborate with other agencies to meet the needs of survivors. We also hope to prevent exploitation from occurring through educational outreach to community youth.
