Our hope is that the Close to Home series brings heightened awareness to issues in our community and encourages people to take positive action and I am honored to be able to tell the stories."

Produced by eMediaWorks and Co-Produced with Lehigh Valley Health Network and WLVT PBS39, Close To Home: Human Trafficking tackles the subject of human trafficking.
