SUMMARY:Orion Twp.: Break the Chain Public Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join the Lake Orion/Oxford Community Group at Lake Orion High School on Monday\, October 15th at 6:30pm\, as they screen “Break the Chain\,” an award-winning feature-length documentary film that illustrates the hidden perils of Human Trafficking in Michigan.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.\n\nA Question and Answer session with the 4 local experts that are featured in the film will follow the screening presentation. They are:\n\n\nJane White – Founder of MI Human Trafficking Task Force\nEdee Franklin – Founder of Sanctum House – Rehabilitation facility for HT survivors\nLt. Wendy Reyes – Oakland County Sheriff’s Dept.\nDebbie Monroe – HT Survivor and Counselor\n\n\n\nAbout the Film:\n“Break the Chain”  is an award-winning feature-length documentary film that addresses the often “hidden-in-plain-sight” issue of Human Trafficking within Michigan communities and the United States.  The film chronicles two survivors of Human Trafficking – providing a detailed look at how trafficking goes unnoticed within our backyards.  Kwami\, a child survivor of Labor Trafficking\, was enslaved for nearly five years with three other children in Ypsilanti\, Michigan before anyone noticed.  Debbie\, a survivor of Sex Trafficking\, takes us through her experience of being sold for sex around the Detroit-Area between the ages of 13 and 18.\n\nAccompanying the stories of these survivors are nearly 20 interviews with researchers\, Senators\, non-profit organizations\, legal service agencies\, law enforcement officers and several artists actively working to raise awareness for this global issue. The film teaches us that what we see in the media about human trafficking is one small sensationalized form – that it occurs anywhere and everywhere within our world.  More importantly\, viewers will learn how we are all connected to this extremely profitable business and that we have the power to choose what we support\, and ultimately\, how we break the chain.
