Hi, I'm Nora Tagore. Growing up I thought I knew everything about sex trafficking in the US.

But then I set out to tell a story about it and I realized I was getting myself into something

much bigger than I thought. You know it was my choice kind of to do sex work with my own

volition but I also live in a capitalistic society where I needed to pay rent and I needed to eat.

You sound sex for money in America and you're not doing it legally in a brothel. You're a criminal.

It's terrible. But you still think they should go to jail. These sex workers that are doing things

illegally have all these excuses it's bullshit. It trust me it's bullshit and it sounds to me like

you're falling into that trap. I set out on a journey across the US to make face to face with the

people involved in both the selling and the buying of sex. How long do you see yourself doing this?

The next eight years I should have a half a million by then easily. You know I need to start a

retirement fund I need to certain things. I thought sex trafficking was about money and power.

There's no trafficking without prostitution. There's no prostitution without demand and

men's entitlement to the bodies of women and children and others. And I knew I would find violence

manipulation and horror. There were a few times where I was almost murdered. You say that so

casually. When you've been through this you were strong as a rock. But the story is more complicated

than that. It's also about business, survival, racism and sexism. And it's a system of laws and rules

that affect so many people. My biggest concern isn't being able to sue you know back page or whatever

I don't give a shit. My biggest concern is I'm homeless and I want to fucking place to stay and I

want to be able to eat. But nobody listens to us when we say that. I want to take you on my journey.

I want you to meet the people I met in safe houses on the street and in our country's only legal

brothels. I want you to hear what I heard and hopefully to learn what I learned. I don't want that

to ever happen to another human being again. I'm not a piece of trash. I'm a human being and I don't
