Awareness Movie “Traverse City”

Northwestern Michigan College is hosting an Awareness Movie showing of “Very Young Girls”

The movie presented will be “Very Young Girls” an expose of human trafficking that follows thirteen and fourteen year old American girls as they are seduced, abused, and sold on New York’s streets by pimps, and treated as adult criminals by police. The film follows the barely-adolescent girls in real time, using vérité and intimate interviews with them as they are first lured on to the streets and the dire events which follow. The film also uses startling footage shot by the brazen pimps themselves giving a rare glimpse into how the cycle of street life begins for many women.

Following the movie, we will have discussion and ways to get involved with the Michigan Abolitionist Project.
