Directed by Janet Salem, the production is a theatre documentary that brings eleven survivors’ stories of human trafficking to the stage.

The monologues are based on the stories of survivors who have been part of AnkoraTN’s road to recovery. Each monologue is a single voice. All are drawn from the true stories of survivors and of those impacted by human trafficking. Most are survivors speaking for themselves, about what was done to them and the lives they are building now. Others belong to the people around them: a parent, a doctor, the people who saw and wondered if they should have done more.

“These stories are not about victims. They are about people who survived, and who are still here, telling us. Our job is to listen, and then to do something.” said director Janet Salem.

“Trafficking happens here, in our own communities, and it thrives on silence. This production breaks that silence. Every ticket sold helps us reach young people before traffickers do and walk with survivors as they heal. We are grateful to share this stage and this cause,” - Laura Hamilton.
