DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

Documentaries can be catalysts for change, they can influence and build movements this is our aim with EXIT.

“I was compelled to make this film EXIT and give voice to the largely migrant women who are victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation in Spain. The film places a special emphasis on their recruitment and how this could happen to almost anyone, but we also discover how hard the recovery is for survivors of human trafficking – and the devastating reality that many don’t make it to the end. During making this film I learnt that it is their children who are the secondary victims of this crime.

Documentary films have become an integral part of social change. They can illuminate social injustices and tragedies in remote parts of the world or our own neighbourhoods.
