IN A CNN Freedom Project special report, The Matrix actress and long-time advocate Jada Pinkett Smith travels to Atlanta - a trafficking hotspot - to try and unravel the complicated web of human trafficking that's happening in the United States.
The hour-long special report is a gritty, raw look at the human trafficking industry in the United States, the lives of children caught in its web, and those fighting back against this form of modern-day slavery.
"For me, this project is extremely important because I want the world to understand the dangers that every kid in America is susceptible to," Pinkett Smith says. "Human trafficking is one aspect of the vulnerabilities and obstacles that we are confronted with. People who sell children are monsters."
