The fiction and the reality

A powerful feature film "Lilya 4 Ever" highlights some of the causes of trafficking and how hard it is for victims to escape.

Later in the week, Bernie Gravett from Specialist Police Consulting gave us a detailed presentation of the reality of the problem. It all goes wider and deeper, and has many more varieties, than we could ever have imagined - in fact it is all around us. We need to open people's eyes, and that is what this project is all about.
