Trafficked in America tells the story of a group of teenagers from Guatemala who are forced to work against their will at an Ohio egg farm. The film exposes the criminal network that exploits the minors, the company that profits off of them, and the U.S. government’s role in delivering the children into the hands of their traffickers.
The film was an inaugural grantee of the IDA Enterprise Documentary Fund, and was a finalist for the Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting.
A FRONTLINE production with Investigative Studios in association with the Investigative Reporting Program at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Produced and Directed by Daffodil Altan & Andrés Cediel. Watch the full film here.
