dtproject and Francesca Patiño have set up “SOPHIA – Mantente Viva”, a project which will present a documentary that draws attention to the problem of human trafficking focussing on the life of Sophia, a woman who was a victim of trafficking at an extremely young age and who was locked up and enslaved for 22 years.

The project will also include a CD with songs that help to denounce this blot on society known as 21st Century slavery.

The project’s aim is to inform the listener/spectator and raise their awareness thereby challenging them to take an active role in the eradication of this type of slavery.

What the project will consist of

The project “SOPHIA – Mantente Viva” will consist of:

• A 50 minute Documentary DVD filmed in Thailand, which will tell Sophia’s tragic yet hopeful story, recounting her past as a victim of trafficking and explaining her present as a person fighting against all types of slavery.

• A Music CD: 10 original tracks which will help to denounce this problem and which will serve as an efficient tool for a live presentation of the project.

• 62 Page BOOK: 62 full-colour pages, with photographs which will reflect Sophia’s life journey and her work in the red-light districts of Bangkok. The book will include a prologue by the artist Dámaris LLaudís, Sophia’s complete life story and other contents. All accompanied by an artistic design by Ikarus Productions.

“SOPHIA Mantente Viva” Main Objectives

• To inform people about the unjust situation of women and girls around the world, who are being treated like merchandise to satisfy the demands of unscrupulous men.

• To raise everyone’s awareness concerning the dimensions of the problem and to highlight the key aspect where the majority of effort should be directed: if there is no demand there is no supply.

• To motivate people into action according to each individual’s needs, providing information about the different organisations that are arduously working for the abolition of this slavery.

• To generate funds through the sale of SOPHIA “Mantente Viva” to support Sophia’s work in particular and that of the different organisations who are working in this field in general.

• To give presentations of this project in auditoriums and theatres building on the aforementioned points.
