January 12 - Human Trafficking in Film

1/12/2021

4 Comments

 
Most of us enjoy a good movie. Movies tell stories that draw us in and they can be even more compelling when they contain content that is true to life.

Sometimes films attempt to shine light on important issues. However, when it comes to human trafficking, this can result in the perpetuation of stereotypical imagery and tropes that can lead to false beliefs about what trafficking is really like.
Check out this short post that talks about the myths movies can reinforce and the realities of trafficking:

In the movie American Honey, Sasha Lane acts as Star, an adolescent girl from a troubled home who runs away with a traveling sales crew that drives across the American Midwest selling subscriptions door to door. As she finds her place in this group of teenagers, one of whom is Jake, played by Shia Labeouf, Star is quickly swept up in the group's lifestyle of hard partying nights, petty crime and young love. Though this film’s focus is not human trafficking, it portrays a very common way individuals, especially youth, are groomed and drawn into trafficking situations.

How about an update? I know, life gets in the way of blogging. How has your business done in last 2 years? How many colonies do you have now? Any setbacks? Wisdom from last 2 years? as a 3rd year beekeeper, I for one have lost more colonies than I've gotten through winter. This is the first year I've gotten my girls through. I've got the Varroa demons in check and the ladies seem well pleased with my borage and lavender plantings.

    ​Every day in January, we posted content created by members of our task force to highlight the realities of human trafficking locally and nationally. Learn about the impact of COVID-19 on human trafficking, how to separate fact from fiction about how trafficking happens and become knowledgeable about recent cases, relevant research, policies and resources for survivors and advocates.
