Street Dreams: The Final Countdown
The journey started on 29 February 2011 when we began our first fundraising campaign. Thanks to family, friends and even strangers we raised over $15,000. This amount allowed us to film over 25 hours worth of material during our five-week shoot in South East Asia. With the support of organizations like Destiny Rescue and FOCUS, we were able to get to the very heart of the sex trade . Included in the footage is:
- Attempted rescues of underage girls from brothels
- Many interviews with girls caught in the sex trade
- A music clip for Brisbane band Remember Seven which we filmed in a working brothel with one of it's girls in Manila
If you have seen the teaser, trailer or video clip then you know that the story and the quality is there. Now we just have to finish the job!
Red Earth Films is inviting all previous, and new, supporters, to help us raise $9500 to complete Street Dreams. The $9,500 will be used towards:
- More pick-up footage for the documentary
- Promotional Video for Destiny Rescue
- Promotional Video for FOCUS
- Helping discover broadcasters and distributors to get this film into the world
- To pay many of the hard working folk who are already spending many hours helping us make this documentary
There is no doubt that the Street Dreams campaign is already raising awareness to the issue of the sex trade. On a daily basis we are gathering momentum as the world looks forwards to it's release. We welcome you to come on board to make this dream come true.
