BREAK THE CHAIN is a feature-length documentary film that addresses the often hidden-in-plain-sight issue of Human Trafficking within Michigan communities and the United States.
 
The film chronicles two survivors of Human Trafficking - providing a detailed look at how trafficking goes unnoticed within our backyards. Accompanying the stories of these survivors are nearly 20 interviews with researchers, Senators, non-profit organizations, legal service agencies, law enforcement officers and several artists actively working to raise awareness for this global issue.
 
Hosted by Laura E. Swanson, Director/Producer of Break the Chain Productions. BREAK THE CHAIN screening generously sponsored by: Benzie Area Zonta Club, Mills Community House, and Benzonia Public Library.
