more from sex+money

In '08 during my Transformation for the Arts school at the UofN, I did a research paper on sex trafficking. Specifically young girls being sex-trafficked. It took me into a sad world, but a world where some how, some way there is hope.

Many organizations, individuals, groups, even celebrities are getting on board to the fight against the human sex trafficking industry.

During my research I found the following song: Constance by Mr. J. Meideiros


"Sex+Money" represents a group of people who - after having traveled around the world and discovered this profane and alarmingly huge issue - began a journey around the US with full efforts directed to bring this appalling industry to an end.

On YouTube they have been posting webisodes of their journey towards making a film.
You'll hear the song Constance in their latest webisode:


Here's a special note from the team I received last week and thought I'd share:
"The post-production phase for Sex+Money is still moving forward! The "rough-cut" will be ready in October, and the final version (90 min) is slated to be released in January. We are also planning our 50-State Promotional / Distribution Tour for Spring 2011; if you would like to have a screening of the film in your area please let us know!

The film right now is at a financial crossroads.

We urgently need your help to continue working on the project. W
e invite you to partner with us this week in making a tax deductible contribution."
