“In the fight against human trafficking, especially $ex trafficking it is traditionally believed that ‘it can’t be ended’ – for it is the oldest work/crime. This belief often occupies the perception of people, including those who are fighting the crime – for they often believe the same! Through Chosen Few, we bring a glimpse of the change that we experience through our work”, says Sanjay Macwan, Vice President Partnerships, South Asia, IJM.
Vikram Kochhar who portrays the character of Special Police Officer in the film offers, “While developing my character I realized how difficult it is for the judicial system to bust such crimes. On one side it is necessary to completely bust the channel of such crimes and on the other, the victim is so vulnerable that it becomes very sensitive. There are different laws to abide by which empower you but also put restrictions at the same time. So the complexity increases. Overall it becomes a fight within and outside the system at the same time.”
