The Human, Earth Project: A Story of Human Trafficking

Published Jan 28, 2014 - 5 Comments

When you travel you think about safety. You buy travel insurance. You might register with your government’s embassy, just in case. You reassure your mother that you’ll be fine.

But imagine if you were kidnapped and sold to strangers. Unlikely?

That’s exactly what happened to Ben Randall’s friend M, a 16 year-old girl from northern Vietnam who accepted a ride from someone she knew, but never made it home.

Human Trafficking Story
Human Trafficking Story

It happens to people far too often all over the world. Human trafficking is an industry, affecting tens of millions of people and worth tens of billions of dollars. Most of the victims are female, and many are just girls when they are taken. Many of these girls are then sold into prostitution or marriage. M’s friends and family believe that she was taken to China and fear the worst.

Ben wanted to do what he could to help, but what difference could he make with an international problem affecting millions?

Ben is in Asia searching for what happened to M and is filming a full-length documentary to bring more awareness to the global problem of human trafficking. He needs a little help to finish the documentary and get this story out to the world.

This three-minute video explains the project in more detail – please give it a watch:

You can find out more information and contribute on ‘The Human, Earth Project’ crowdfunding page.

Please consider a donation – every little bit counts – to help produce the documentary and ensure this message reaches a broad audience.

    Thanks for sharing this, Alyona. I met Ben (the film maker) In SE Asia and have been really inspired by his story and dedication to raising awareness of the situation – especially amongst these minority women and girls of the region.
