"She can't remember her name, but she can remember something...hope." My Name Is Sorrow is a film drama about human trafficking with a difference. It looks at the effect rather than the cause. The film shuns the usual trafficking fare, by resisting the urge to sensationalise or politicise the issue. My Name Is Sorrow offers an intimate and intense reflection of one woman's experience of sex trafficking. Natasha Paulinyi gives a stunning performance as 'Sorrow'. Written, Directed & Produced by Geoff Hall. Cinematography by Timothy Woodford, Score by Charlie Groves and design work by Chris Lorensson. With music from The Blackthorn Project. Our new project is a feature length film called “Seeing Rachel”. http://www.seeingrachelmovie.co.uk

This is a brief video I made for the annual 'SHIFT' conference that raises awareness about child sex-trafficking, especially in Denver. I spoke at the inaugural event in 2016. "Through a group of high school students passionate about ending trafficking in the world today, SHIFT Freedom was started in 2015 with a student-led conference. Forming into a movement empowered by adults; SHIFT FREEDOM is currently working to educate and empower to prevent child-sex-trafficking through an annual conference, events throughout the year; and in 2019: through video courses and training. SHIFT FREEDOM provides a platform for organizations also involved in the fight against sex-trafficking, and encourages collaboration of raising awareness and getting involved in these organizations both on local & global efforts." https://shiftfreedom.org
