Film Screening of In Plain Sight: The Dark Truth of Human Trafficking

A Documentary Screening & Community Conversation

Join WGVU on December 9 at Grand Valley State University’s Seidman Center for a special screening of In Plain Sight: The Dark Truth of Human Trafficking, an Emmy-award-winning episode of WGVU’s Mutually Inclusive.

Human trafficking can happen anywhere, even in the communities we call home. Too often, exploitation goes unnoticed or misunderstood.

This powerful documentary shares the story of local survivor Leslie King and her work advancing awareness, prevention, and support for survivors. Through her partnership with the Kent County Sheriff’s Office Human Trafficking Task Force and her nonprofit, Sacred Beginnings, King is helping change how our community responds to human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

The screening will explore how individuals are targeted, how exploitation can go unnoticed, and why awareness, education, and community involvement are essential to prevention.

What to Expect:

• Sensitive content: This event will include conversation surrounding acts of sexual abuse and exploitation.
• Documentary screening
• 10-minute Q&A with Mutually Inclusive Host Jennifer Moss and Sacred Beginning Executive Director Leslie King
• Meet and greet and book signing with Leslie King

Join us for an evening of storytelling, learning, and conversation. By listening to survivor voices and building awareness, we can help create safer, more informed communities..

Doors: 5:30pm | Screening: 6pm
