Svetlana's Journey, the feature movie, is a story about stolen innocence. The story is the recollections of a 13-year-old girl who escaped the prison where she was held captive by sex traffickers.
After losing her mother and having no other family, Sveti was forced to live in an orphanage. She was adopted by a family who’s sole purpose was to acquire her in order to sell her for $10,000 euro. After the transaction, Sveti was tortured, manipulated, and abused by the “pimp couple” who bought her. She became a shell of a body, used 15 times a day by various gentleman buyers.
Her dignity, dreams, and hopes were stripped from her. She did the unthinkable to release herself from the dark forces that entered her life.
Svetlana's Journey compels you to want to put an end to human trafficking.
Svetlana's Journey was made to show society that the victims of forced prostitution are not the ones to be blamed for their fate and that human trafficking can happen to anyone, anywhere. In fact, statistics show that the involvement of young girls in this industry comes about through abductions, kidnappings, and lying by the sex peddlers.
Svetlana's Journey was made to educate high-risk girls about human trafficking and to change the mind of any young girl who is considering getting involved in this industry.
