Shattered Dreams
(Bill Wisneski, US, 2019, 55 min)

Shattered Dreams is an Emmy award-winning documentary that examines the pervasive, dark underworld of sex trafficking in America. Heart wrenching personal stories from survivors of the illicit sex trade and leading experts reveal how vastly misunderstood and disregarded this important human rights issue has been.

As hundreds of thousands of victims lives are destroyed by this multi-billion-dollar industry, the complex challenge of targeting the cause of this deeply embedded problem is exposed. Will increased awareness finally drive real solutions to save lives or will we continue to let this underground industry thrive in America?

Note: NWFF acknowledges that shedding light on the sensitive topic of sex trafficking does not intend to equate to, cast judgment on, or provide meaningful commentary on the many people who willfully choose to participate in sex work of various kinds.
