Face of Tears
Chong Kim is a woman who we met upon being invited into the Facebook Group “United Front Against Human Trafficking”; she immediately welcomed us and offered to help in any way possible as she was a survivor of human trafficking in the US. She quickly and generously opened herself up to helping us and our film, and proceeded to share with us the (literally) gruesome details of her countless years of child abuse, then trafficked into underage and non-consenting prostitution and the many years of rehab after that. It truly is remarkable that she is able to look at members of the human race with any sort of love, but she does.
For anyone who doesn’t understand just how brutal a human trafficking ordeal can be and just what it does to a person, we invite you to read Chong’s blog entry about her life called “My Real Name.” It is not an easy read and we warn you that she does not pull any punches in what she writes, but what you read will not only make your re-evaluate what you believe is important and difficult in your own life, but will hopefully also make you think harder about acting out against this form of injustice in the world.
