"We don’t see them because we don’t want to."
By the time you read this, another teenager will be kidnapped, molested and raped by a predator, a friend, or a trusted family member. By the time you read this, millions of young girls will be lured by advertisers and the media into believing that the sexier they look the more they will be valued by society. By the time you read this, children will be sold in America to Americans by Americans. It is undeniable; the sexual exploitation of American girls has reached epidemic proportions.
Your American Teen is a full length documentary about the sexual exploitation of teenage girls in the northwest region of the United States. From incest, to drugs, to violent sexualized music, advertisements and movies, to sexual harassment in our schools, our malls and the internet, one thing is clear, our girls are under attack.
Our film, Your American Teen, follows three teens for approximately 2 years. All three girls suffered severe trauma as children and throughout their adolescense; all three had parents that were unable or unwilling to care for them. Their stories are horrifying and tragic and yet, in them we see beauty, innocence and hope!
We have interviewed survivors, detectives, organization executives, celebrities, lawyers, policy makers and many others in our quest to find out what is being done to prevent sexual exploitation of vulnerable girls in our region and beyond.
The film features exclusive interviews with:
*United States Senator Ron Wyden
*Actress/Advocate Daryl Hannah
*CNN's Jane Velez-Mitchell
*Writer/TV personality Margie Boul’e
*Multnomah County Commissioner Diane McKeel
*America’s Most Wanted's Michelle Sigona
*Governor Sue Riney, Soroptimist International Northwestern Region
and many others
