Shattered Dreams is a comprehensive documentary that examines the pervasive, dark underworld of sex trafficking in America. Heart-wrenching personal stories from survivors of the illicit sex trade and leading experts reveal how vastly misunderstood and disregarded this important human rights issue has been. The film asks: Will increased awareness finally drive real solutions to save lives or will we continue to let this underground industry thrive in America?
