Interview by Alexis Jackson


We recently had the privilege of previewing the award wining short film, Only Light, written by Thembi Banks and directed by Evita Castine of USC's School of Cinematic Arts. This film explores the dehumanizing world of International Human Sex Trafficking in the United States and the Congo. It blends elements of fantasy and magical realism while telling the story of the second-largest criminal industry in the world. Only Light is emotional and moving, allowing viewers to connect to a very difficult subject.

Jada Pinkett-Smith is currently working on a documentary about human trafficking for CNN.

Recently she traveled to Atlanta and spoke with former strippers who were lured into sex trafficking. She posted a video blog about her experiences there.
