Survivors Speak Series // Ep 9: Point of View Story

Steph chats with Mark Steenbarger and Emily Taylor-Ginger about their inventive way of utilizing media to tell stories of those who have survived abuse and exploitation. The mission at Point of View Story is to empower survivors by creating moments through the power of film. Their work is radical and will change the way we relate to stories of trafficking  and develop compassion for both those who have similar experiences and for ourselves.
