Inside the World of Sex Trafficking
"Dreamcatcher" explores the cycle of
neglect, violence, and exploitation that each year leaves tens of
thousands of girls and women feeling that prostitution is their only
option to survive.
For 25 years Brenda Myers-Powell called herself "Breezy" and dominated her world, or that's what she thought. It was a world that
had turned her into a drug-addicted teen prostitute. After a
violent encounter with a "John" (prostitution customer), Brenda woke up in the hospital and
decided to change her life.
Today she is a beacon of hope and a pillar
of strength for hundreds of women and girls as young as 14 who
want to change their lives.
By following the charming, charismatic, and truly
Brenda, we enter the lives of young women and see in verite
footage their realities from their point of view.
While the world may
overlook these women and men, Brenda has not. Providing an
unflinching expose that contrasts apparent hopelessness with the
difference even one person speaking truth can make.
