THE HISTORYAt Sands of Silence (Sands of Silence), a 15-year quest to expose the underworld of sexual trafficking and exploitation from Asia to the Americas, ends up taking journalist Chelo Álvarez-Stehle back to the windswept beach where her childhood ended and their family secrets began. Documenting the transformation of young women in Mexico and Nepal from helpless victims to resilient survivors and passionate activists, Chelo undertakes a parallel journey toward personal healing and family reconciliation. An intimate story about an endemic problem, Sands of Silence celebrates the triumph of the spirit with a call to action to break the chains of sexual exploitation around the world. |
