The Special screening of ‘EDEN’<\/p>\n

Director: Megan Griffiths
\nCast: Jamie Chung, Matt O\u2019Leary, Beau Bridges<\/p>\n

Jamie Chung stars in a searing contemporary drama, based on the true story of a Korean-American teenager who is kidnapped from a bar in New Mexico and transformed into a sex slave in Las Vegas by a band of ruthless international thugs. Beau Bridges plays an avuncular federal marshal, a good ol\u2019 boy who turns out to be one of the operation\u2019s masterminds, while Matt O\u2019Leary is equally repellent as his wildly erratic, drug-addled right-hand man. But it\u2019s Chung who breathes life into a story that could have been reduced to violent, even pornographic sensationalism, if not told so compassionately from the victim\u2019s point of view. Human trafficking is a $32 billion-a-year business, perpetrated throughout the world. EDEN gives a thoughtful, albeit mind-boggling perspective on how these crimes are committed in America, sometimes within plain sight.<\/p>\n
