This short film is a joint Youth Underground-Not My Life production. Some of the images and language are graphic, but this is the reality of human trafficking, with an intended focus on youth testimonials. The appearance of adults was minimized unless we felt they brought meaning to the story-line and credibility to the film. All survivors, traffickers, persons, images and footage in the film are real. This is what sets it apart from what we usually see about human trafficking.

Our approach is simple: to empower YOU, the youth, to become the driving force behind change by creating a space where your ideas, perspectives, and ambitions can help shape the world you want to live in. Use your voice. Speak up. Be heard.
If you would like to volunteer and support our campaigns in any way — whether through research, sharing ideas, speaking out about the issues affecting today’s world, or expressing your opinions — we would love to hear from you. Send us an email at info@youth-underground.com
Remember: Youth Underground is youth-led, not adult-driven. That means your voice, ideas, and experiences truly matter.
