A short live-action and animation film narrated by a femme fatale who infiltrates a sex trafficking gang seeking revenge –or justice.

This 5-minute fiction piece combines a film-noir aesthetic with an astounding soundtrack and poetry to visibilize corruption schemes that make sex trafficking possible.

Using striking visuals and a simple yet powerful approach, “Blue Lips” (working title) brings sexual exploitation to the foreground in an accessible way for people of all ages and geographies to discuss.
