"Making socially conscious movies highlighting the injustice of Human Trafficking, child marriage, child labor and spiritual abuse, then directly aiding the survivors upon whom the films shed light"

Support us by MakingADifference in the lives of over 200 survivors of Human Trafficking who we’ve aided because of supporters like you!

The Basics

MoviesMakingADifference (MMAD) is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to reducing human trafficking in the U.S. Founded in 2014, we produce feature films based on true events to raise awareness of the issues happening right in our own backyard. We believe that by increasing awareness, we are “MakingADifference” and saving young men and women from the horrors of human trafficking. As of 2023, we have rescued over 200 survivors, giving them access to our support programs and welcoming them into our MMAD Family. Two of our survivors have become board members. All proceeds from our films go directly to aid survivors.

Words From Our Survivors

A Word From Our Founder

“I’ve seen first-hand the suffering and oppression involved in human trafficking and sex slavery. Although the subject matter is disturbing and unthinkable, I do believe we can make a difference, one person at a time. I’ve dedicated my life to helping those who don’t have a voice, and I’m asking you to join us in this fight.” 

– Diana Davis
