“The Turn Out” is award-winning filmmaker Pearl Gluck’s first fictionalized documentary based on the testimony of sex trafficking survivors, anti-trafficking activists and truckers. In collaboration with local musician Chris Rattie, who composed the music for the film, Gluck tells the story of a trucker who must decide if he will stand up against trafficking at his truck stop.

Following the screening, there will be a panel featuring Rattie; Barbara Freeman, the survivor and activist who inspired and appears in the film; Dr. Sheridan Miyamoto, assistant professor in the College of Nursing and faculty for the Child Maltreatment Solutions Network; and local activist for PA Alliance Against Trafficking in Humans Susan Mathias.
