For My Silent Sisters

ByTara Meddaugh

Set in the countries of Cambodia, Romania, India and the United States, 4 teenagers struggle to escape the dark underworld of child sex trafficking. Jorani is sold to a brothel in payment for a gambling debt, and her Buddhist upbringing is put to the test. Marta seeks a new life as a translator in England, but after finding her “employer” has vastly different plans for her, she must risk her own life to save another. After a fight with her father, Kayla meets an older man whom she starts to fall for—but whose manipulation over her brings on severe consequences she must accept or fight against. Abhay, living on the streets of Mumbai, finds employment at a brothel and must decide if the “good life” is worth the atrocities. While living in different parts of the world, their lives are intertwined, and their support of each other binds this connection. This monologue-driven drama shines light on the real horrors that occur all over the world, and the hope and faith that allow children to survive. 6 F, 3 M
