CAPITOL HILL
California's Forgotten Children documentary was invited by Senator Kamala Harris and approved by the United States Senate to screen on Capitol Hill on June 26th, 2019 and invited Congress and the public to see the film. The film screened in room SD-106 at the Dirksen Senate Building and had a powerful panel discussion after the film giving the stage to Ambassador Withelma “T” Ortiz Walker Pettigrew, CSEC First Responder Jamerson Sean Watson, and Director Melody Miller to talk about policy. The film made a life-changing impact to the individuals that attended the screening. It encouraged a partnership in creating and implementing laws and policies to combat trafficking, and resources for prevention, protection, and prosecution. |
