In this very sensitive episode, we take a look at the work of FACESS.org and the two men who made it their life’s work to end human trafficking, more specifically, the trafficking of young women into prostitution and how their faith informs their crusade. We also get an interview with Alex Tello who is the filmmaker behind “Furthest From The Wild” which is a documentary that shines a light on animal cruelty and the industry that supports it with Zoos and Animal Sanctuaries.
