AF5+#1)1
trfico is a character-driven American crime drama TV/web series about the dark invisible
side of human trafficking within the United States. Set in a small central New Jersey town
just twenty-miles from New York City and the worlds busiest transportation corridor.

Challenging and thought-provoking, trfico takes a provocative and unflinching look into the
lives of the women and children who are bought, sold and forced to serve in the sex trade,
the pimps, johns, and criminals responsible, and those dedicated to bringing the trafficking
trade to its end.

The story is told through the lives of a multi-ethnic cast of characters: A runaway teen. An
Ecuadorian shoe shop owner. Two corrupt detectives. An African-American FBI Agent and
his partner. A sadistic grifter. A Hispanic undercover fed. A ruthless pimp. An ambitious
politician!

trfico dives headlong into the diverse melting pot of a post 9/11 world. A
world where women and children are traded, coerced, commodified,
bought and sold for sex, exploited, and forced to labor in sweatshops,
American homes, and back alley brothels.

trfico scrutinizes these characters, their relationships, their
motivations, and their intimate involvement in the violent and criminal
trade of human beings. The characters find themselves within a world
where no one is who they seem to be and every body has a price.

Artistic Statement: Why are you making this movie?

ttflco ls an Amerlcan crlme drama serles creaLed, produced, and dlrecLed by !oseph Lulo, a
graduaLe sLudenL aL Lhe new School, School of Medla SLudles, ln new ?ork ClLy.

ttflco ls !oseph's passlon plece" and represenLs Lhe culmlnaLlon of hls MasLer's Lhesls. 1he
purpose of ttflco ls Lo enLerLaln, engage, and lnform lLs audlence abouL Lhe LruLh of human
Lrafflcklng wlLhln Lhe unlLed SLaLes, and abroad, uslng a characLer-drlven dramaLlc narraLlve.

!oseph belleves LhaL, unLll now, Lhe porLrayal of human Lrafflcklng ln Lelevlslon and fllm has been
sLyllzed Lo a polnL where audlences accepL human Lrafflcklng as a flcLlon raLher Lhan for Lhe reallLy
LhaL lL ls. Pe belleves a weekly eplsodlc serles would keep Lhe Loplc ln Lhe soclal consclence and
fosLer a dlalog among lLs audlence abouL Lhe Lrue horrors of
human explolLaLlon LhaL can be found ln our Lowns and clLles.

noL everyone wanLs Lo learn someLhlng when Lhey go Lo see a
fllm, buL everyone wanLs Lo be enLerLalned. Can a characLer-
drlven dramaLlc narraLlve enLerLaln, engage, and lnform an
audlence abouL a modern-day soclal lssue such as human
Lrafflcklng? lor !oseph, Lhe answer ls yes. uramaLlc narraLlves
serve Lo Lell compelllng sLorles LhaL move people Lo Lake acLlon.

Puman Lrafflcklng ls allve and well ln Lhe unlLed SLaLes of
Amerlca" says !oseph, 1o brlng Lhls Lrade Lo lLs end ls golng Lo
requlre a soluLlon on many fronLs, everyone ls golng Lo need Lo
play a parL"

Puman Lrafflcklng ls here, lLs everywhere and ls for Lhe mosL parL lnvlslble. Whlle Lhe ma[orlLy of
human Lrafflcklng vlcLlms are from oLher counLrles, Lhe l8l reporLs LhaL 33 of Lhe vlcLlms of
human Lrafflcklng cases reporLed ln Lhe unlLed SLaLes are Amerlcan-born. 1hey come from a varleLy
of groups LhaL are vulnerable Lo coerclve LacLlcs-such as mlnors, lmmlgranL populaLlons, Lhe
homeless, subsLance abusers, Lhe menLally challenged and/or mlnlmally educaLed, and Lhose who
come from culLures LhaL hlsLorlcally dlsLrusL law enforcemenL or who have llLLle or no experlence
wlLh Lhe legal sysLem.

Many agree Lhe soluLlons we should employ musL accompllsh Lhree maln ob[ecLlves before human
Lrafflcklng can come Lo an end: 1) rosecuLe Lhe offenders, 2) Lmpower Lhose mosL vulnerable, and
3) CreaLe awareness.

1he collaboraLlve naLure of Lhls pro[ecL has broughL LogeLher a dlverse group of acLors, arLlsLs,
wrlLers, and fllmmakers from around Lhe globe Lo creaLe and produce a characLer-drlven dramaLlc
narraLlve, such as Lrflco, Lo address human Lrafflcklng, enLerLaln our audlence, and allow Lhem Lo
care abouL Lhe characLers ln Lhe serles. We wlsh Lo reach Lhem on an emoLlonal level and engage
Lhem ln a conversaLlon abouL Lhe Lhemes and Loplcs presenLed ln Lhe serles.

Wry, powerful, and always unpredlcLable, ttflco boldly remlnds us of LhaL slavery sLlll exlsLs ln Lhe
unlLed SLaLes, and LhaL anyone can be a vlcLlm or be Lhe vlcLlmlzer. unLlmely, Lrflco makes Lhe
lnvlslble, vlslble and uncovers the darker side of human nature.
