Happy New Year! We kick off 2023 talking to Kansas City filmmaker Anita Cordell. Anita is founder of the I Will Rise Project. I Will Rise is a movement to encourage all of us to rise up through films that educate about social issues like trafficking, homelessness, child abuse, marital abuse and more.

Anita is also director of the award winning documentary, I Will Rise. The movie tells the story of Christine McDonald and how she was able to escape a life filled being sex trafficked – and how organizations like Stop Trafficking Project, Human Trafficking Training Center, Relentless Pursuit, Outreach Recovery are coming together to help save other women trapped in that life. We talk about how this movie came about and what it was like to make a long form documentary. It will be available for streaming on Amazon and other platforms later this month.
