About the Film:

Fishnets Short Film

Directed by Brian Nesbit

Charisma, a teenage girl, stricken with grief after the recent death of her mother, trusted the wrong person. She went from a cozy, pink canopy bed in the suburban life to a filthy mattress in the dark world of Sex Trade.

Many sex trafficking victims are blind sided with promises of love, money, and an altogether better life, all to end up being manipulated and most of the time tortured and forced into sex trafficking, usually by someone they trusted. This film is a voice for those who have no voice and feel like there is no hope.

The purpose of this film is to spread awareness of the growing global problem to ensure that youth and their parents are equipped with the warning signs to prevent their children from falling for predators and becoming sex trafficking victims.
