"A masterpiece of investigative journalism,
Red Light Green Light
is a call to wisdom, compassion, and action. This movie will change the
way we think about, talk about, and decide about the growing plight of
women in the sex trade."
- Mark Buchanan, Bestselling Author
“The documentary examines prostitution/sex work and sex trafficking and
the link between them in a balanced way, with interviews of various
individuals including former sex workers, sex buyer and other actors
working to combat sex trafficking. Decriminalization of sex work comes
across as a strong message because of the exploitation inherent in most
of sex work. The documentary is very highly recommended, especially for
classes on human and sex trafficking, and a general human rights
course.”
- Dr. Babafemi Akinrinade | Associate Professor of Human Rights, Western Washington University
"A genuine examination of human trafficking and prostitution. A must-watch film."
- Joy Smith | MP, Parliament of Canada
"A well-informed and balanced view of the sex trade on a global scale and in its most intimate proportion."

"An informative and often provocative film about prostitution and human trafficking. Unlike many other films of this genre, Red Light Green Light
gives much needed attention to the demand that drives prostitution
generally and which motivates traffickers to exploit new victims. In so
doing, the film offers an important perspective that will hopefully
generate serious discussion and serve as a vehicle for change.”

“Gives a clear picture of trafficking and its victims. I
slept really well after viewing this film thinking they got it right.
Very moving and thoughtfully made.”
- Audrey Morissey | Associate Director of My Life My Choice
"There are dozens of film projects that address sex
trafficking, but this documentary looks at prevention. It digs deep into
the roots of prostitution and blends the voices of survivors and
experts. The Brocks wade into the debate about legalizing prostitution
and stay focused on their goal to explore prevention. The balance of
survivor experts, research experts, and experienced practitioners on the
frontline offers an understanding where we as a community can begin
serious efforts to prevent the steady stream of victims of human
trafficking at the troubling intersection of poverty, race and
ethnicity, and normalized violence against women in our homes and
society."
- Sandra Morgan | Director of the Global Center for Women and Justice
"Red Light Green Light is a much-awaited thoughtful review
of the incontrovertible connections between human trafficking and the
commercial sex trade. I do not know of another film that addresses the
prevention of human trafficking as well as Red Light Green Light.
Perhaps because effective prevention measures can only begin to develop
with an honest and balanced review of a social issue; an end that this
film certainly meets. I am eager to use this resource in the classroom
to train future mental health providers on the issues that fuel human
trafficking and expect it will be a thought-provoking and discussion
promoting teaching tool."

“Red Light Green Light is a thought-provoking, excellent
educational resource on prostitution and human trafficking for a range
of social justice and women studies courses at the post-secondary level.
Jared and Michelle Brock have done a commendable job presenting a
balanced and diverse approach to this complex and controversial topic –
long overdue. This documentary merits viewing by anyone who is
interested in gender equality and has faith in believing that we can
find constructive solutions to preventing the perversion of human
trafficking, exploitation, and abuse of women from around the world that
haunts us more than ever in the 21st century.”
