"The Other Side"
This award-winning, short documentary features Nikki Bell and her journey from a teen sex trafficking survivor to a powerful advocate for other survivors in Worcester, MA. Over the past 8 years, she’s set up an extensive network of support services to help women in her community overcome addiction, trauma, isolation, stigma, and violence associated with the commercial sex industry.
Then the world changed seemingly overnight. When the pandemic began, Nikki’s drop-in center was forced to close, preventing her team from providing food, clothing and support services to those in need. Nikki and her staff of survivors began risking their own health and safety to continue providing invaluable aid.
