Prepare yourselves for an eye-opening conversation as we strip away the myths surrounding human trafficking in our latest episode, sparked by the powerful film "Sound of Freedom". The film is based on the real-life story of Tim Ballard, a former CIA operative, and Department of Homeland Security agent who made the brave transition from dealing with symptoms to tackling causes head-on. We'll transport you to the heart of his daring rescue of 120 children in a day and use his story to shed light on the overlooked fact that men and boys, too, are victims of this heinous crime.
Our journey doesn't stop there; we venture into the terrifying scale of human trafficking - a monstrous global enterprise that cruelly enslaves an estimated 27 million people and rakes in a shocking $150 billion. Our focus narrows down to the US and the devastating impact of labor and sex trafficking on its people, particularly undocumented workers and children who tragically make up half of the victims. We explore the stark links between socio-economic and racial factors and those at risk of exploitation, leading to a stark examination of child sex trafficking in the US.
