Filmmaker Christina Zorich traveled to Southeast Asia to document the region's rampant sex trafficking in a new documentary, 'The New Abolitionists.'
Christina Zorich recalls how her parents came around to supporting her documentary exposing sex trafficking in Southeast Asia, and praises the work of anti-traffickers.
Filmmaker Christina Zorich remembers her late mom Olympia Dukakis encouraging her to finish the film. "I'm going to get emotional. Well, she didn't want me to do this," Zorich said of her mom."She didn't understand what I was doing. She thought I was putting myself in danger and being nutbaggy doing it."
"But I think we have to really start getting honest and having some integrity discussing the subject matter, because it's happening in red states, it's happening in blue states, it's happening across the board – different races, it's happening in different countries," Zorich said."There is a global industry that's working with local gangs in our country, and I think it's a similar structure in other countries.
