This mirrors the reality for many victims, where fear and coercion make escape feel impossible.
No, trafficking happens in many different ways. It can involve coercion, manipulation through false job offers, or even exploitation by trusted individuals. The Knight tells a story inspired by the broader realities of trafficking but doesn’t encompass every form it takes.
The Knight uses a metaphorical and cinematic approach to depict the fight against human trafficking. While it doesn’t contain graphic imagery, it does address a heavy and important subject matter. We recommend parents preview the film first to determine if it’s appropriate for their children based on their age and sensitivity. It can also be a valuable opportunity to start a meaningful conversation about courage, justice, and standing up for what’s right.

Intervention and outreach are about meeting survivors where they are and offering a way out. Through our network of over 40 network members and frontline organizations, we help remove people from dangerous situations, provide immediate care like food and shelter, and create safe spaces for healing. It’s about breaking the chains of exploitation and opening the door to freedom while working to prevent trafficking before it starts.
