First Trip to Thailand

Michael Kaliski sets out to Thailand to produce and direct The Untitled Child Slavery Project, a documentary about rescuing child sex slaves in southeast Asia.

Child Slavery InterviewAt first, the documentary was going to be about one renegade man who slipped into brothels, risking his life, and pretended to be a sex tourist asking for their youngest child. When he was put into a room with the child, he would take her and run out, saving the child from slavery.

However, when Michael and the others got there and started interviewing other people involved in abolishing slavery in Southeast Asia, they discovered an entire seedy world of evil beyond one man. This project will take on child slavery of all kinds all over Southeast Asia. Stay posted for more information.
