- A 15-year quest to expose the underworld of sexual exploitation and trafficking from Asia to the Americas leads world-reporter Chelo Alvarez-Stehle to the windswept beach where her childhood ended and family secrets began.
- Since the end of the 19th century, the reader of the tobacco shop in Cuba has been cultivating and entertaining the tobacco twisters in the manufacture of cigars. As a result of the demand from cigar makers, who were illiterate at first, the reader became an original troubadour. For more than a century, his poetry recitals and readings from the masterpieces of world literature have soaked the tobacco leaves that cigarette makers twist monotonously for ten hours a day. Although the reader is today an endangered species, some, like Juan, memorize poems daily in the public library and years ago they stopped speaking prose.
- SOLD IN AMERICA is a glimpse into the world of sex trafficking in the United States through the stories of three women sold at an early age, whom we now meet as empowered survivors. On the streets of our own neighborhoods, an immigrant is lured into a fake job that turns out to be a trap; a child is sold by her relative to sexual predators during weekend visits; and a teenager is forced by her boyfriend to turn tricks in motel rooms. After conquering their tragic past, Maria, Miriam, and Michele offer voices of hope for those still in captivity today, and a call to action for us all to create awareness and eradicate modern-day slavery.
