In 2007, a group of students embarked on a journey through 20 nations on every inhabitable continent, motivated by their love of photography and their passion for justice. At the outset, their experiences were diverse, even random. However, soon a common thread of human suffering emerged as their travels exposed them to a dark, little discussed side of humanity—children being bought and sold for pocket change to satisfy the sexual pleasures of men.
Upon their return to the United States, the students were shocked to discover that the same injustice was happening on their own soil. Across America, thousands of children are bought and sold for sex each day. Meanwhile, most Americans are completely oblivious to this staggering truth.
Sex + Money documents the student photographers as they hop on board their bus and set out on a second journey, this time across America, in an attempt to grasp the full extent of the commercial sexual exploitation of America’s children. It’s a trek that takes them deep into the dark underbelly of our nation. But unlike other films on the topic, it doesn’t end there. Theirs is also a journey of hope as the students encounter the brave men and women who are valiantly doing battle on the frontlines of the modern abolitionist movement. The students’ journey is wrought with emotion as they discover the hard realities of their world and the painful truth of their own lives. Driven to seek justice, they recognize that if change is going to happen, it must begin within each one of them. This empowers them to believe that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary results, if they work together.
The final movement of Sex + Money portrays the students’ quest to help make America the first slave-free nation in the world—and to inspire others to do the same.
Check out the video this group put together. They are a part of the organization I am working with and completed the track I am about to begin.
"The power of change resides not with a nation's chief executive but in the resolve of ordinary people to act in ordinary ways."
Individualism is one of the many things fueling this evil, help us rasie up a community of people who will not tolerate slavery inside America’s boarders. $20 doesn’t seem like a lot in the scope of the $300,000 that we are trying to raise, but if you give and then you tell someone else to give a ripple effect will happen. We want to fund this project with as many people as possible because we want to show people that WE WILL STAND TOGETHER to fight this issue.
15,000 people x $20 = $300,000.
Will you be one of the 15,000?
