Blowin' Up

Institute History

  • 2017 Sundance Documentary Film Grant

Description

Blowin' Up looks at sex work, prostitution and human trafficking through the lens of New York State's criminal justice system. The film takes you inside our nation's first human trafficking intervention court in Queens, New York, and considers how we define trafficking and prostitution from many different perspectives: the criminal justice system, the social welfare system, and, most importantly, the women and girls who are at the center of it all.
