Editor's note: Above is the documentary's trailer from YouTube.
“Human Trafficking in North Carolina” is a documentary featuring three survivors discussing their experiences with labor and sex trafficking. This film also features experts in the anti-human trafficking field in North Carolina. This documentary addresses the vulnerabilities of individuals and communities, how to identify human trafficking and what to do if you should suspect.
WINTERVILLE — A documentary film will be screened at Pitt Community College this month featuring survivors of sex and labor trafficking telling their stories along with North Carolinian anti-human trafficking experts outlining vulnerabilities of human trafficking and indicators of victimization.
The first of three screenings across the state for “Human Trafficking in North Carolina” is slated for 7 p.m. Thursday in PCC's Eddie & Jo Allison Center for Student Advancement, 1935 Warren Drive in Winterville. Admission is free. “We are excited to be having our first screening in the state of North Carolina in the county N.C. Stop Human Trafficking was born,” said Pam Strickland, the nonprofit's founder and CEO.
“This documentary, specific to what human trafficking looks like in North Carolina, was a large project for our organization,” Strickland added. “It is also a wonderful learning tool for community members and professionals about the reality of human trafficking when we so often see inaccurate and misleading depictions of the nature of the crime in dramatized film.”
This film “Human Trafficking in North Carolina” was produced by N.C. Stop Human Trafficking with funding from the North Carolina Governor's Crime Commission.
Walk-ins are welcome on Thursday, but organizers are requesting RSVPs from people who plan to attend. To register online, visit https://encstophumantrafficking.org/events-2/documentary-human-trafficking-in-north-carolina/
