Sands Of Silence: Stop sex-trafficking SOS Slaves Games4Change

My Second Life friend Draxtor Despres is a award-winning machinimator. I wrote before that Draxtor's talent and machinima work re-define the term journalism. His new machinima features Spanish-American documentarian Chelo Alvarez-Stehle discussing her project on sex-trafficking, "Sands Of Silence", which will be accompanied by the SOS Slaves G4C game.

Games for Change or G4C for short, are part of the Serious Games innovative discipline, which harness the motivation of gamers and game technology to bring social change.
Alvarez-Stehle's project is a extraordinary example of empowering women. The porject developed at the SF based Bay Area Video Coalition, which brings filmmakers together with technologists to develop new media strategies for their projects at the annual Producer's Institute.
