"They say, 'Oh, so this was in Thailand, this was in China', and I say 'no, this was Los Angeles, this was down the street'"-- Lydia Emily
This harrowing yet hopeful short film introduces us to Jessica, a young woman who suffered sexual abuse from the age of 3, and later was kidnapped and forced into an almost unimaginable life of sexual slavery. Artist Lydia Emily, who discloses her own past abuse, created a mural inspired by Jessica's survival story that stands as a defiant monument of hope when things seem utterly hopeless.
