February 23, 2009Exposing Sex Slavery
New documentary turns its lens on the problem in Thailand
Turns out his 25-year-old daughter, Rachel, gets it too. That's why she's made a documentary exposing the problem of sexual slavery in Thailand as part of The SOLD Project, which calls itself is "a grassroots organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering individuals to stop child prostitution before it begins."
Rachel recently told The Indianapolis Star, "At first all it was to me was a lot of statistics," she recalled. Then she met victims in Thailand, changing everything.
