Preying on the vulnerable: Documentary shines light on human trafficking in Michigan

When Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III was charged with a wide range of prostitution-related crimes, it managed to refocus attention on sex crimes and human trafficking in Michigan.
 
Victims of these crimes include people forced to sell their bodies for sex and people used for cheap labor.
 
Break the Chain, a new documentary on human trafficking in Michigan, premiers next month. 

Filmmaker Laura Swanson and human trafficking survivor Debbie joined Cynthia Canty on today's Stateside.
