Unthinkable Short Film - Human Trafficking is Real (South Africa)
Human Trafficking is real. This 34 minute short film by Media Navigation and the National Freedom Network aims to educate the public on ‘Lover Boy Recruitment', a tactic by human traffickers to lure and trap victims. Many victims are then sold into the sex trade.
The short film is based on Chapter 32 of Kris Hollington’s book “Unthinkable”. It has been adapted for the South African context.
