A documentary screening of one survivor's story
Sentenced to life in prison at the age of 16, Cyntoia Brown's past reveals a common thread among incarcerated women. "Me Facing Life: Cyntoia's Story," illustrates how the justice system fails to address systemic issues surrounding human trafficking, abuse and juvenile justice -- issues that should serve as a call for intervention. Following the screening, producer Dan Birman and Kansas civic leaders will discuss the implications of this story for our own community. The event is presented by the WSU Center for Combating Human Trafficking and the Ulrich Museum in association with the winter exhibition, "We the People."
