Young Filmmakers Against Trafficking
May 01, 2026
High School students around the United States were given the chance to display their talent, earn cash prizes and educate other youth about human trafficking in this year’s Alliance to End Human Trafficking video contest, “What Would You Do?”. In short 2- to 3-minute videos, students were asked to demonstrate what human trafficking looks like in the eyes of those most vulnerable - our youth. Their videos were designed to educate and empower other students on how to identify and prevent human trafficking.
An online awards ceremony was held on April 1 where professional filmmakers also provided feedback of the contestant’s work. Cash prizes awarded were $1,000 for the first prize; the second prize: $750 and the third Prize: $500. CSA was a sponsor of this contest.
You can watch the recording of the Award Ceremony here on YouTube and be inspired. Though the top three were selected, all videos deserve recognition and all the students are winners!
