Worth it?

This is the journey of 5 friends documenting the issue of human trafficking on the West Coast of the United States within the context of bordering countries, Mexico, and Canada. A lifetime of experience crammed into one month.It's been said - If you've been dealing in this issue for 2 years you're an expert. That logic could make our team experts several times over.

Addressing human trafficking is emotionally taxing, physically exhausting, mentally trying, and spiritually depleting. The question begs to be asked, is it worth it? My answer is yes. Why, you might ask. I would have to bring it back to the value of human life - individual worth. Why is humanity valuable? Christ gave the value. He is always worth my everything. He is worth my intentional effort of regarding human life as a precious gift, not one to be exploited for profit.
That's why we've hit the road. Filming the issue of human trafficking - exposing it, what it looks like in the US, as well as what ordinary people are doing to end slavery. Can it end? That's a question to ask yourself. That's a question for you to answer.That's a question you could be a part of the solution to.
