From the Shadows

From The Shadows uses the imagery of public art to delve into missing narratives. It follows an artist down a black hole bringing to light the personal stories of survivors and their fight for justice. A grueling court battle questions whether law enforcement agencies, rather than protecting victims, are actually part of a network that exploits them?   The film explores the intersection of art and activism to paint portraits of an unlikely ensemble of ordinary women using ingenious ways to challenge the stranglehold of a multi-billion dollar cross-border trafficking industry.

Impact Statement
The film has a unique approach that can push the audience off the edge of their seat to become active participants in countering the global issue of trafficking and human slavery at their local level. We hope to find an Impact Producer for our film to organise screenings and discussions with key influencers, policy makers and law enforcement officials to have global impact. At the Impact Day Forum we hope to identify collaborators, broadcasters and human rights festivals. To meet NGOs who address similar issues and will become part of our screening network to generate cohesive solutions. Special screenings in rural areas, with vulnerable communities especially the youth in schools, universities and NGOs will be part of gender sensitizing program. Our film aims to engage young boys by holding screenings in conjunction with the stencil art project, MISSING game that puts one in the shoes of a trafficked girl and AR interaction so youngsters are engaged, enlightened and committed to the issue.
