LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. - EntSun -- eMediaWorks received a regional Emmy nomination from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) - Mid-Atlantic Chapter in the Public Affairs program category for its program Close to Home: Human Trafficking, The Survivor Story. This is the fifth program nominated in the 5-part series. Teri Haddad, Executive Producer stated, "The documentary exposes the serious problem in the Greater Lehigh Valley region while giving a voice to recovering survivors. 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.
