event Details

Auckland Festival of Photography and the Alexia Foundation present the New Zealand premiere of documentary by acclaimed photojournalist Tim Matsui, The Long Night.

This award-winning film weaves together the stories of seven people whose lives are forever changed by the sex trafficking of American children. Set in Seattle, Washington, the film gives voice and meaning to the crisis of minors who are forced and coerced into the American sex trade.

The Long Night weaves together the stories of seven people whose lives are forever changed by domestic minor sex trafficking. The documentary is not themed to advocate a solution. Instead, it submerges the viewer in Natalie and Lisa’s experience surviving the life; in Tom and Nacole watching their daughter slip out of their hands; in Andy and his fellow police officers, Brian and Joel, trying to create a more just system.
