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.
