Elisabeth Röhm Explains Why Girl In Room 13 Is More Than Just A Movie, It's A Movement

Telling a story about human trafficking in “Girl in Room 13” was important for director Elisabeth Röhm. “There are so many different aspects to human and that I couldn't begin to speak to the vastness of that topic. But our film specifically does deal with sex trafficking, being recruited by somebody you know and believe you love that you believe loves you,” she explained.

“That element is sometimes, statistically, a part of these scenarios … It's a very big topic. It's a $150-billion business. There are no right statistics to talk about how many people worldwide are imprisoned and being recruited for sex or labor trafficking, so it's hard to speak to the biggest element of this topic, but the film does tap into the small part of it that we can tell,” Röhm continued.

“We hope that it's not just a movie, but a movement — and that afterward, people can get information on this topic,” she added. “That's one of the many reasons I love working with Lifetime, because they have a real sense of responsibility around these tough topics.”
