Redlight (sometimes misspelled Red Light) is a documentary film about human trafficking in Cambodia that premiered on October 4, 2009 at the Woodstock Film Festival.[1] Lucy Liu was the film's executive producer[2] and narrator.[3] The film is produced by Kerry Girvin and directed by Guy Jacobson and Adi Ezroni.[4] Redlight documents four years of the lives of several Cambodian children who are kidnapped for the purpose of child prostitution.[5] These children are both boys and girls, and some are only 3 or 4 years old.[6] Some of the film's footage was recorded secretly in brothels and then smuggled out.[7] Liu promoted the film at the 2009 Cairo International Film Festival.[8] Showtime televised the film as part of Human Trafficking Awareness Month in 2010.[9] The first screening in Connecticut took place in Westport that November.[10]
