Many mainstream documentaries about human trafficking fail to acknowledge that Black women, girls and femmes are disproportionately affected by sex trafficking. Furthermore, many of these documentaries do not discuss the experiences of Black survivors.

Still I Rise explores the relationship between racism and sex trafficking with dynamic womxn closest to the problem and the solutions. Over the course of five years in the Bay Area, we follow the lives of brilliant pioneering advocates, Holly Joshi and Leah Albright-Byrd.

Join us for a screening of Still I Rise and talk back where attendees can share their new learnings.
