Lucky ones get a chance at a normal life




Very Young Girls is an expose of human trafficking that follows thirteen and fourteen year old American girls as they are seduced, abused, and sold on New Yorks streets by pimps, and treated as adult criminals by police. The film follows the barely-adolescent girls in real time, using vérité and intimate interviews with them as they are first lured on to the streets and the dire events which follow. The film also uses startling footage shot by the brazen pimps themselves giving a rare glimpse into how the cycle of street life begins for




many women. The film identifies hope for these girls in the organization GEMS (Girls Education and Mentoring Services), a recovery center founded and run by Rachel Lloyd, herself a survivor of sexual exploitation. She and her staff are heroic and relentless in their mission to help girls sent by the court or found on the street. Given a chance to piece their lives back together, some will succeed, but many will remain suspended on the edge of two different worlds consistently battling the force that will suck them back into the underground. Very Young Girls unprecedented access to girls and pimps will change the way law enforcement, the media, and society as a whole look at sexual exploitation, street prostitution and human trafficking that is happening right in our own backyard.

  • Thanks so much for posting this trailer. Putting faces on this type of tragic lifestyle will help us fully realize the urgency of this problem. Something has to be done to dissuade young girls from taking that path and to help those who are in it. Also, those laws have to be changed so that these girls will be seen as victims and receive help rather than being treated as criminals and put in jail, which only hurts them more in the long run. That's ludicrous. Thanks again for posting.

  • This is so sad....does anyone care about the children? I guess not...

  • @kambridge967 True. But does that make it any better? And ok since they don't have the money..shouldn't we do something to help them....so that this does not happen..bcuz no matter what reason they went to the pimps...it's going to scar them, and be a big part of their life for ever, a lot of pain will come out of it.
