Bill Bernardoni closes this week’s America’s News Hour with a powerful and deeply human conversation with Daphna Edwards-Ziman — filmmaker, author, philanthropist, and founder of Children Uniting Nations. Daphna shares the moment that changed her life and moved her from writing checks to fighting on the front lines for foster children, battered women, and victims of trafficking. She explains the devastating connection between the foster system and sex trafficking, the inspiration behind her spoken-word project “Humanity,” and the unlikely but transformative collaboration with producer Mally Mall. A moving, emotional, and vital discussion about vulnerability, compassion, and the power of art to drive change.Can art and storytelling meaningfully help combat human trafficking and inspire real-world change?
