Mira Sorvino's Latest Film Defends the 'Innocents'

The thriller, "Trade of Innocents," is a compelling story about child trafficking and the people working tirelessly to end it.

The independent film by Bill and Laurie Bolthouse and director Christopher Bessette was inspired by trips to Cambodia.

Jim Schmidt, a Los Angeles-based film producer and award-winning actor who has been in films such as Billy Graham's "The Climb," signed on to co-produce "Trade of Innocents" after being approached by the Bolthouses.

The film stars Dermot Mulroney as Alex Becker and Academy Award Winning actress Mira Sorvino as Claire Becker; a married couple dedicated to human rights work in Cambodia after suffering the loss of their own child.

Sorvino, whose character still struggles with the pain of losing her young daughter, spoke directly with The Christian Post about how her role as a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador helped her prepare for the role in the film. The mother of four also went on to explain why human trafficking is not foreign to her.
