I Am Jane Doe has completely changed my perspective on the issue of child sex trafficking within the United States. I have never encountered a film as powerful as this, that manages to simultaneously educate and touch the viewer emotionally. Ever since watching, this issue has been on the forefront of my mind and has facilitated numerous conversations between me and my friends/family.
The film is layered in a way that allows you to absorb as much information as possible in many different forms. The stories of the Jane Does and their mothers adds a personal touch, while the lawsuit presents a more analytical layer and dives to the root of the problem.
This film has the power to make real change in the world. I Am Jane Doe is leading the fight against Backpage and child sex trafficking, through shedding light on a subject that is more often than not left in the dark and labeled "taboo." And perhaps even more importantly, at its very core, this film manages to give a voice to those without one.
