Kettering Fairmont High School in Kettering, Ohio
Winner of the 360 Filmmakers Challenge Make Waves Award – Spring 2017
From the filmmakers: “This video is about human trafficking and how common kidnappings and human trafficking are. We were motivated to make this video, because we wanted to explore the world of 360° and we also wanted to bring awareness to the issue of human trafficking. We hope this video will bring awareness to communities about the subject of human trafficking and locations and situations in which kidnappings commonly take place. We simulated an actual kidnapping to put into perspective how quickly and easily it can happen anywhere. Although it is a scary subject, we hope this video can help people to be alert to the dangers of kidnapping and human trafficking and help them avoid situations and take precautions to prevent becoming a victim of such a crime.”
