A film about “stolen innocence”. Based on a true story. Svetlana’s Journey tells the story of a 13 year old girl who is held captive for eight months after being sold to pimps by her adopted parents.

Written & Directed by Michael Cory Davis. The coercion utilized by traffickers, to keep victims in a perpetual state of fear causing severe mental and physical trauma, is conveyed throughout the film and is representative of many of the methods traffickers utilize regardless of the form of human trafficking.

Svetlana’s Journey will make it easy for law enforcement to understand why victims are difficult to interrogate and typically falsify statements in order to help the trafficker which is due to fear of death or criminal acts against their loved ones. Most individuals can’t fathom the level of intimidation that goes into the coercion that keeps victims enslaved and this film provides a very visual heartfelt view into that world.

Svetlana’s Journey is perfect for the presenter who has 60 minutes or more to educate a group but needs to emotionally connect them to the issue first. This film has been used by over 40 different organizations and law enforcement to aid in panel discussions, conferences, trainings, and workshops. A useful tool to convey the strategies of traffickers.
