Human Trafficking is a huge interest of mine and I have developed a subject bibliograrphy on the subject. I am actually involved with some projects as well to combat human trafficking in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia. We offer a course in Human Trafficking as well. The dean Of the Graduate School of Social Work (Mark Rodgers) is an expert in this area and has done international training. I have attached the media section of the subject bibliography that I developed and I can recommend many others. Of course there is the 4 hour Life Time film as well. Many of the films have not been reviewed. Please feel free to have your friend contact me.
Here it is:
Kim-Gibson, Daisi. (1999) Silence broken: Korean comfort women [Motion picture]
Dai Sil Productions.
Kim-Gibson, an award winning filmmaker (Asian American Media Award, Kodak Filmmakers Award and the Rockefeller Fellowship Award) presents a film regarding forced Korean women to work for a brothel system for Japanese soldiers. Kim-Gibson interviews the surviving women and allows them to tell their horrific memories as sex slaves in the military camps. The stories have commonalities woven throughout including vacuous promises of factory jobs or to get their family out of poverty or help to free family members from jail. The women demand justice as they are interviewed side by side with Japanese soldiers. The film was nationally broadcast by CBS in May, 2000. Village Voice, Asian Week- Los Angeles, Wall Street Journal, and Video Librarian gave high reviews http://www.twotigers.org/ <http://www.twotigers.org/> as well as the New York Times. The film has subtitles.

Hello, everybody --
A friend/colleague who is an attorney and educator working on human
trafficking issue asks
"have you seen/heard of any short (15-20 mins or so) films on the issue of

Thanks,
Ben
