Fantastic new movie

I just saw a wonderful film about young women in New York City who have been sexually exploited. It features the work of a fantastic organization, GEMS (Girls Education and Mentoring Services) that offers alternative to incarceration programs, counseling, and housing for young women involved in the sex trade. The move is a powerful portrayal of the violence that these young women experience, and I think powerfully conveys the coincidence of poverty, structural inequality, and violence. It is appearing on Showtime all of this month.
To read more about the film, go to the GEMS website, and consider making a donation to their organization, as your money will go far.
