"A gripping legal thriller." - Esquire
I Am Jane Doe chronicles the epic battle that several American mothers are waging on behalf of their middle-school daughters, victims of sex trafficking on Backpage.com, a classified advertising website. These mothers have stood up on behalf of thousands of other mothers, fighting back and refusing to take no for an answer.
The powerful documentary reveals how, after rescuing their daughters, these mothers filed lawsuits against Backpage. Although many of the lawsuits have not gone well, their efforts have sparked a Senate investigation, a political movement, and now, pending legislation in Congress.
Q&A and a compelling panel of experts to follow including Romanucci & Blandin law firm and Selah Freedom.
Complimentary snacks & beverages will be generously provided by Park Hyatt Chicago. This socially-responsible hotelier supports anti-human trafficking efforts and is actively spreading kindness to survivors.
