On December 13th, 3 Generations celebrated the 4th anniversary of the release of Tricked on Netflix. Since 2013, the film has been has been viewed in 15 countries. In the United States, it has been viewed across nearly all possible platforms -- film festivals, movie theatres, universities, streaming services, and cable. It is still available on Netflix as well as for purchase on our website. We are also continuing to screen Tricked for educational purposes, most recently at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
The relevance of our work combating sex trafficking is expanding on a daily basis as more and more Americans are finally grasping the prevalence of sexual violence in every aspect of society. The Harvey Weinstein revelations sparked a pattern of swift and severe consequences against men who have committed acts sexual violence, and Time magazine selected the “Silence Breakers” as person of the year. One victim is actually filing a lawsuit against Weinstein under sex trafficking laws.
Our founder and executive director Jane Wells wrote a piece for the Huffington Post titled “Pimps, Politicians, Doctors, Celebrities, and #MeToo,” which draws a connection between pimps and men in positions of power within workplaces. She focuses on Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman who spoke out against the U.S. team doctor Lawrence Nassar. Jane says that Aly’s story “could have come from the lips of any of the young girls we interviewed making our documentary Tricked.”
