Sex + Money = Human Trafficking November 22, 2011

Human trafficking doesn't just happen in foreign countries. It happens here. According to United Nations figures, an estimated 2.5 million people are in forced labor (including sexual exploitation) at any given time as a result of trafficking.
Sex + Money is a feature-length film that follows three photojournalists across the United States seeking to understand how sexual exploitation has become the nation's fastest growing form of organized crime and what can be done to stop it.
Following the film, a panel of experts will discuss human trafficking in Mississippi and beyond:

•Heather Wagner, Director, Attorney General's Domestic Violence Division
•State Representative Diane Peranich
•Dr. Marie Leonard, assistant professor of Sociology
•Dr. Bob Press, associate professor of Political Science
Another screening of the film will be held Nov. 21st at 6:30 p.m. at USM Gulf Coast campus, Long Beach
