==========================

*Live Bodies for Sale* is a new play about the human trafficking crisis
occurring in Ohio in the immediate present. In immersive fashion, this
documentary work explores the lives of several women from Cleveland who are
recent survivors of this ongoing injustice. “Live Bodies for Sale”
addresses how these women were forced to work as prostitutes, detailing
their escapes as well as their attempts to maintain healthy lives. Based on
interviews with real people, the play presents the insights of
professionals who help free such victims, including Renee Jones, an urban
Mother Theresa figure in Cleveland. Testimonies from Cuyahoga County task
force members­­--law enforcement agents, prosecutors, and judges--­­also
detail what’s being done to free victims and hunt down their traffickers.
