Traffikid

With decades of experience in combatting human trafficking, Traffikid's team has the expertise and knowledge to bring our vision of creating a unique, expository journey through the lives of those impacted by human trafficking to life on screen.

At Vision Forward Media, we are committed to producing high-quality films that exceed even our own expectations at times. We use top-of-the-line equipment and work with only the best professionals in the industry to ensure that every project is of the highest quality.

A child sex trafficked survivor and adult labor trafficked survivor, our award-winning producer Gwen Cassady has humbly won 9 awards for her first film on the unhoused including a screening at the United Nations. 

Our brilliant beyond-words cinematographer Julie Peley is a professor of cinematography, editing, and production at the University of Miami.

We are shooting with 2 SONY FX3s that are top-of-the-line Netflix-grade cameras. We also shoot on 3 gopros and an ozmo 4k. Top-of-the-line Godex and Aperture lights accompanied by three sound sources are a few of the highest-quality light/sound sources we now utilize.

At Traffikid, we believe that films have the power to change the world. Our vision is to create films that inspire, educate, and entertain, while promoting positive social change. From documentaries to narrative features, we strive to make a difference through the power of storytelling. We also hope to make a difference through our policy work with our parent 501c3, Managing Love. 

This January we hope to facilitate an Addendum to the current Vacatur Bill which helps people who incur legal implications while they were being trafficked. In addition, the Bill will help change the vernacular of a child being referred to as a prostitute to the reality of children being trafficked, and if you really analyze each situation, someone is being trafficked although sadly the term prostitute, and its seemingly negative connotation, is embedded in modern society's vernacular.

Moving forward, we hope to help with new policy at the federal and global level that helps with forfeiture of assets. These assets would be placed in a fund for survivors.

One project we look forward to gaining momentum with, and how our core group first gathered pertains to 'Trafficking Tales'. As Harvard graduate students studying with Dr. Orlando Patterson, the leading global scholar in Slavery, we decided to create a two-for-one book where one side is dedicated to helping trafficking survivors heal by telling their story similar to the 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' series. When you flip the book over, we have a resource guide for both victims still trapped in the vicious cycle that is human trafficking and for survivors finding their own journey of healing.
