Connections: New Film to Focus on Threat of Human Trafficking to Refugees

The EU refugee crisis is dominating headlines as hundreds of thousands of refugees (more than a quarter of them children) arrive in the EU in the months and years ahead. 

Bloomfield-based documentary filmmaker Bob Bilheimer is working on a new film, The Heart of the Matter, which focuses on how refugees are especially vulnerable to the crime of human trafficking. The new project is a companion piece to Bilheimer's 2011 film, Not My Life. It is currently accepting donations through an Indiegogo campaign. Our guests:
