I’m working with the actress and writer Emma Thompson on a project about sex trafficking called THE JOURNEY. Over the past couple of years we have created a series of controversial viral campaigns as well as the exhibition of containers outside the National Gallery.
We have now put together a drama documentary to capture the experience of a young woman being trafficked from eastern Europe to the UK. Our take on this is violent, confrontational and uncompromising. The decision was made early to bypass the usual talking head style waffle that TV spits out and go for something that might get people to sit up and notice for the all the right reasons.
The story line revolves around the container which evolves into her windowless home - which she will never leave. We have mixed the real space with a 3d animated environment where the young woman sinks further into the Hell that has become her life.
